How to turn off the visibility of hidden files?

[sajkofff]

Hello. How to turn off the visibility of hidden files?

[rejetto]

what do you mean with "hidden files" ? it can have more than one meaning

[sajkofff]

For me, hidden Windows files have one meaning))
Especially, temporary MS Office files should not be shown.

[rejetto]

quite, but you didn't say "hidden Windows files" in your first message :)

anyway, yes, HFS is supposed to not show files with "hidden" attribute on Windows (other operating systems don't have such thing).
So, it's my understanding that you are seeing in HFS files that are supposed to be hidden.
Can you double check? Pick one file that HFS is displaying, and verify its attributes.

Perhaps this has something to do with the Cyrillic alphabet? Both office documents are open. Total Commander displays the temporary files of both documents. Temporary files are not shown in Windows 11 Explorer. HFS displays a hidden temporary file in Cyrillic.

[rejetto]

in your screenshots i cannot see file's attributes. Can you show that?
The fact that it is not displayed in explorer may be caused by other reasons.

[rejetto]

you were talking about the files starting with ~, right?
but your screenshots seems to be about the OTHER files.

[sajkofff]

sorry

[rejetto]

ok, i assume the checkbox on the right is the "hidden" (can't read russian).
in your hfs page i see only the file with cyrillic.
is the english hidden correctly?

[sajkofff]

yes

[rejetto]

Hello @rejetto
I see exactly the same problem with hidden files in Windows in versions 0.52.9 and 0.53.0-rc12
