How to show hidden files?

Hi,

After hiding certain files by appyling the filter option & saving that works well, but the "toggle hidden" only works for system files.

How is the normal command to show all the hidden files (& toggle them back, when klicked again)? So basically it´s a "toggle all hidden" button.

Set HIDEFILTERATTR=H

(That will act as a toggle, too.)

hmm, naw, the files won´t show up by this button yet.

That´s like i have it now. All *.conf files are hidden. Any Idea? thx!

Hi,

now i changed it to HIDEFILTERFILENAME=*.name, which works on this button. Only when hiding a whole bunch of files, it will be difficult to overlook. :slight_smile:

Sorry, I thought you were trying to toggle hiding/showing of Hidden files, as in files that have the H attribute set.

If you're talking about files which are hidden due to Opus's filters, and want a button which ensures that all currently filtered out files are shown again, then have a look near the end of...

FAQ: Add and configure filter boxes

...where there's a button to clear all current filters.

You can't make that a toggle button, though, since there's no way to remember the existing filters before clearing them, and thus no way to re-apply them after they are cleared. (Using a button that is. You can always close the lister and open a new one to get your default filtering back. Or make a button which explicitly re-applies the filters, or which specifies a certain Folder Format which re-applies the filters.)

You can toggle specific filters, like .name using commands like HIDEFILTERFILENAME=.name as I guess you've discovered.

thanks, nudel. I have a 3-way button now for three different types of hidden files, plus that button from the FAQ, to clear all filters.
