This seems to work fine only under the logged-in user's profile folder. Why not in other user folders though? Personally due to my work's nature, i login to different PCs via UNC paths, and in those, the AppData folder is also hidden and unfortunately not visible in TC. Could this option be expanded to include AppData under all user folders please? I think i understand most of the problems that may arise, but i believe such an option would be useful.History.txt wrote:12.02.21 Added: Always show hidden directory "AppData" in c:\Users\<user profile> even with hidden files disabled (32/64)

Re: About option -Always show hidden directory "AppData"-
Why don't you just enable viewing hidden and system files in TC's Display configuration - I can see AppData folder for other users on other PC's in my Network when that is enabled.i login to different PCs via UNC paths, and in those, the AppData folder is also hidden and unfortunately not visible in TC

Re: About option -Always show hidden directory "AppData"-
Was thinking along those lines as well. Or just change into that directory when you know it's there, either per "cd" in TC's command line or appending the path in the path bar.

Re: About option -Always show hidden directory "AppData"-
What i do now is to "unhide" all AppData directories i want to work with (if i know it won't be a one-time thing). It's better this way because i don't like "Show hidden files" very much, most of them are unwanted. Since Christian though has added this wonderful option, i was wondering, "why not expand it?". That's why i made this request.
I know that it's easy and safe to find "%HOMEPATH%\AppData" and make it visible, but other folders will not be so easy and perhaps might raise some security issues, however i believe it would be useful.

Re: About option -Always show hidden directory "AppData"-
It would have sense to add the selectable option like this:
Show AppData dir even when hidden files are disabled
( ) never
(o) for current profile (default setting)
( ) for all user profiles
or at least add such option to wincmd.ini

This is done only for not so advanced users who want to find their settings but can't because hidden/system files are disabled by default.

Re: About option -Always show hidden directory "AppData"-
I prefer also to see an option where I can decide whether to show "AppData" folder or not. Like it was before in 9.x version. Please add this option back
Re: About option -Always show hidden directory "AppData"-
I don't want to see this folder at all. Why was it made visible regardless of the "hidden" attribute? If its "hidden" it should be hidden, no?
If someone wants to make it visible for whatever reason, just remove the "hidden" attribute from the folder.

Re: About option -Always show hidden directory "AppData"-
I'm agree. There should be a choice to hide or make it visible.

Re: About option -Always show hidden directory "AppData"-
@Wanderer, you can do this already: Go to Configuration > Options > Display and tick Show hidden files, untick Show system files. There is no need to display AppData all the time. I personally hate this function, as it cannot be turned off.wanderer wrote: ↑2021-03-27, 12:32 UTC What i do now is to "unhide" all AppData directories i want to work with (if i know it won't be a one-time thing).

Re: About option -Always show hidden directory "AppData"-
Thanks, i already know that. The proposal was made for people like me, who do not wish to have Hidden files shown all the time. Also, manually removing Hidden attribute from folders is time-consuming, unnecessary for an admin and perhaps unwanted by the end-users.Combinatix wrote: ↑2023-02-18, 11:53 UTC@Wanderer, you can do this already: Go to Configuration > Options > Display and tick Show hidden files, untick Show system files.
