Roger Whitcomb commented on PIVOT-986:
--------------------------------------
Made two submissions to "trunk" to address this:
1. First one made the changes to add the "showHiddenFiles" style to the
TerraFileBrowserSkin, TerraFileBrowserSheetSkin, as well as
TerraVFSBrowserSkin, and TerraVFSBrowserSheetSkin, and then to "do the math" to
disable the HIDDEN_FILE_FILTER if the flag is set to true. Also added a
checkbox to the VFSBrowserTest program so this feature could be tested.
2. The second change added a rendering change so that hidden files or
directories are rendered with dim icons and disabled text color, again in both
browser skin classes. This change also puts the little checkbox into the
FileBrowserWithCharsetTest so the feature can be tested with the regular file
browser as well.

> Project: Pivot
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: wtk, wtk-terra
> Affects Versions: 2.0.4
> Environment: Windows 7
> Reporter: Roger Whitcomb
> Assignee: Roger Whitcomb
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.1, 2.0.5
>
>
> There are some fairly important hidden directories on Windows (such as
> C:\ProgramData and descendants) that are currently not visible with the file
> browser (and VFS Browser in 2.1) components.
> I would like to add a property to the basic browser (implemented in the skin)
> that would toggle the ability to browse hidden files and directories.
