"Hidden" files not displaying in PM
« on: February 13, 2007, 06:56:19 AM »
Hello, I have had an issue when I had to hid some files on my camera trough the camera's interface (it just sets the file attribute to "hidden"). Basically, I was in a somewhat totalitarian country with need to hide some photographs from checks by the police. Back on my computer, PM (which was still a demo version of 4.33, as I bough it just recently) didn't show these files. It was no problem to change the file attribue to visible, but if I didn't remember the situation, I would be in a mess trying to find files which did exist. I don't know if this affects the ingest as well, but it could be a potentially serious issue if the hidden files do not get ingested.

My suggestion - make an option in the prefs to show even hidden image files (I heard 4.5 will have the option of showing even non-image files - I would like the two options to be separate though).

Is this possible?

Thanks a lot :)
