Display specific hidden items only, not all hidden

[karpouzi]

Hello guys

Is there an option in TC to show selected hidden files/folders? I don't want to show all hidden items; I just want to see all ".git" and ".vs" folders by default.

Thanks

Hi.

No, not really, but you could

- show all hidden files
and
- use ignorelist (in Options) to set some or most of the files and folders as hidden

Search in help for Ignore to find "Configuration - Ignore list"

You know there is a DOS command ATTRIB ?

So you can unhide those files and folders in your system:

attrib -h *.git /s
attrib -h .vs /s /d

You could also just create a button with command cm_switchhid to show hidden files only when needed, and hide them otherwise. Or use cm_switchhidsys for hidden and system files.
