Feature: Display hidden folders when clicking chevron on path bar

[yaira2]

Requirements

• Display hidden folders when clicking chevron on path bar

[QuaintMako]

Should the hidden folders always been shown? It may be against the idea of hidden folder. I reckon having a setting for this could be interesting. Should be turned off by default.

There's already a show hidden folder option it should use

[hecksmosis]

So the folders should only show up when the show hidden folder option is checked?

[yaira2]

Correct

[hecksmosis]

This is an issue with the advanced query syntax used in StorageFileExtensions (line 289) which doesn't list hidden files or folders. I will try looking into this, but help would be appreciated.

[yaira2]

@hecksmosis I believe it's because GetFoldersWithPathAsync is using the WinRT APIs instead of WIN32_FIND_DATA.

Will look into it when I have some free time

Hi, Is this issue still relevant? I would be interested in taking this issue.

[Josh65-2201]

Yes, it can be worked on

[jbgski]

I'd be interested in adding this feature, please assign this issue to me :)

[yaira2]

@jbgski are you still planning to work on this?

[jbgski]

Hi @yaira2, sorry but I will be unable to work on this as the Files codebase surprised me with the complexity (especially regarding file system stuff).

I hope you understand, thank you for the opportunity!

[yaira2]

Thanks for the notice
