Hidden directories in konqueror


Hi

How can I get hidden directories displayed in konqueror's directory tree display? Show Hidden Files does not work for the tree.

TIA
Jim

Bummer. Makes it hard to move or copy files into a hidden directory.

If you don't have a lot of hidden directories to manage, you can always create a (not hidden) symbolic link to them. In this way they are displayed in the directory tree. Then remove the symbolic link and the trick is done!

You could open the hidden directory in a new tab (alt+t) and move the needed files over the new tab. That's the way i do it. Hope it helps
