View menu - Show/Hide hidden items

[Loki@99]

Dear dev,

It will be convenient to have an option to Show/Hide hidden items in the View menu.

I'm aware that there is the Exclude options in Indexes settings but rather than disabling hidden items indexation I just want to Show/Hide hidden items sometimes.

Thanks for considering this,

Thanks for your reply,

Well, I was thinking of something more user friendly like the feature in Windows 11 explorer. I mean something which doesn't need configuration like the omissions topic you mentionned.

It will be great if you can implement this in the View menu.

Index attributes under Tools -> Options -> Index -> Index attributes.

Create a filter to hide hidden files/folders:

• From the Search menu, click Add to filters...
• Change the Name to: Not Hidden
• Change the Search to: !attribute:h
• Click OK.

Filters can be activated from the Search menu, Filter bar (View -> Filters), right clicking the status bar, filter macro or filter keyboard shortcut.



I will consider a View -> Show/Hide hidden option.
Thank you for the suggestion.
