Incorrectly skipping hidden files in archive

[abe65]

Hi,

If I pack a folder(s) (it doesn’t matter which packer I use – ZIP, RAR etc.)
and check both options: [x]Create separate archive and [x]Leave out base directory
and in Configuration Options Display option []Show hidden files is unchecked
then hidden files in this folder are incorrectly skipped in archive.

If [x]Show hidden files is checked then everything is OK.

Best regards,
Adam

I see the inconsistent behaviour:

[ ]Create separate archive
=> hidden files are copied

[x]Create separate archive and [x]Leave out base directory
=> hidden files are NOT copied

Well, this seems to be due to the fact that:
a) with unchecked option the packing uses directory name only.
=> packing is done without knowing about any file name in advance
=> packing cannot apply any filter for files

b) with checked option the packing uses a list of filenames.
=> packing can apply filter for files

Yes, sqa_wizard is right about what's happening!
