Only show specific hidden directories or files on input.

Open xTekC opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Add the ability to show only specific hidden directories and/or files on input, instead of showing every hidden directory and file.

Examples using (-ih flag): -ih, --input-hidden

br -ih "/hidden_dir"

br -ih "hidden_file"

You mean you'd want to whitelist some specific paths for a broot session ?

Yeah, that would work in this instance. Instead of showing all hidden, only show /.config brsc1

Wouldn't it be more convenient for you to just have the .config directory always shown ?

Yes, that would be more convenient. But, if I took a screenshot of the tree layout to use for reference, it would be nice to have the exact name and location of certain hidden directories and/or files without showing all the other unimportant hidden directories and/or files.
