hide files starting with a '.' (dot)

[compie]

Is it possible to hide "hidden unix files"?

<Ctrl+F12>

Code: Select all

|.*

or add

Code: Select all

.*

to the ignore list (cm_IgnoreConfig + cm_SwitchIgnoreList)

Or if it is on the FTP-server: uncheck "Net" -> "FTP Show Hidden Files"

It does not work on all servers.

This is great, but I also have hidden .svn directories created in this project I'm working on which I'd like to hide... Setting the mask in Ctrl+12 hides the files fine, but leaves the .svn directory still visible.
I've fiddled around with advanced settings in the dialog, and can get it to do exactly what I want to the files, but not the directories. Is there any way I can get those hidden too?

Thanks. I would have preferred to have this sort of toggle happen when I did the Ctrl+F12 as well, which would allow me to set things more the way I want them, but this is at leas a useable alterative.

rsnowd,
In Ctrl+F12 filter you may specify more than one mask separated with spaces. E.g. you may set mask "|.* .svn\" - and TC will hide files w/o name and .svn folders.

Ok... I've played around with it a bit more, and here's my problem:

I have hidden files and folders (with the hidden file attribute). Some of the hidden files are named .*, others aren't.
I want to be able to hide everything, both folders and files, that have the hidden attribute set.
If I set a mask, I can hide the folders and files based on the mask, but in this particular project, there are quite a few files and folders that shouldn't be distributed, and most of them have the hidden attribute set. There is no consistent file name pattern that I can put in the mask. So I also want to hide everything that has the Hidden attribute set, and a couple of extra files and folders with the mask.
The moment I set the attributes on the advanced tab to hide stuff with the hidden attribute, it totally ignores the mask I have entered, and only works on the files. All files with the hidden attribute disappear from the view, but the ones listed in the mask reappear, and all the folders reappear. It seems I can set my filter on either the mask, or the attributes, but not both at the same time, and the attributes work as expected on files, but not on folders.
Either I'm missing something, or it isn't working the way I expect it to from the documentation and suggestions here.

If you need to set attributes for some set of files you may search for matched files (using mask, attributes, plugins etc) and then use button 'feed to listbox' and then select all files in listbox and change attributes for them.

It is not quite true - you can use saved searches that include masks and use attributes at the same time - just not for excluding directories.

Excluding directories can only be done with a mask written directly in the dialog that comes up when you press Ctrl+F12 - not with a saved search = predefined selection type     (>something).
