invisibles
Any chance of having an option for invisible files to not show in a folder's list? For whatever reasons I have some 30 invisible files in my home directory (which is in a category). When right-clicking it I get a long list of all these dot files before I get to the usual Desktop, Downloads, etc. Of course it's not as bad as most folders, but I'd still rather not have them showing.

Hello,
I'm not sure in which of our applications you are referring to - or what exactly you are doing when you see this issue. Can you elaborate for me?
Thank you,
Dan Messing

Sorry. I thought I was specifically in the Overflow area. I have my home directory as an item. In fact I have several folders. They "expand"/spawn a popup of the next level items when right-clicked. So far so good. However the first level of my home directory has a ton of invisible files and they all are listed before the more regular items. likewise, any invisibles show for any folder. It's just not as bad as for this home folder. Please see the two links. Similar action in DragThing hides the invisibles.

Ah ha, I see what you mean. You're right, we probably should be hiding those invisible files. Thanks for the screenshots and letting us know about that problem.
