[Bug]: "Open Project" dialog doesn't show dot directories

Open dannykhen opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

What happened?

On Linux (Ubuntu), the File / Open Project dialog doesn't list directory name starting with a dot. Specifically, it doesn't list ~/.local, which is where Rivet installs the example plugin.

What was the expected functionality?

All folders are listed.

Hm, I really doubt that I have any control over this unfortunately :(

I found this: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=289891 TL;DR: User can type Ctrl+H on the dialog to show dot names. So technically, yes, nothing you can do in the code. You could however add this information in documentation, e.g. here, to save people some time figuring this out. It's a really annoying (Chromium?) behavior. TIA!
