Bug ID: 365792
Summary: Folder View widget cannot show hidden files, filters
hide everything
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.5.5
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Folder
Assignee: h...@kde.org
Reporter: burnsmellfact...@gmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
The Folder View widget in my panel won't show hidden files. There does not
seem to be an explicit option to show them (I had such an option in the
QuickAccess widget using Plasma 4). When I tried to use the Filter feature, it
would hide everything.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a Folder View widget to your panel, go to its Settings.
2. Specify a folder which contains hidden files or folders.
3. Note how there is no setting for showing hidden files/folders.
4. Go to the Filter section, select the "Show Files Matching" option, then set
the pattern to this: .*
6. Hit OK.
7. Click on the Folder View widget's icon in the panel to open the listing. No
hidden files are shown. In fact no contents are shown at all.
8. Go back to the Filter section of the settings and change the pattern to *
and select all of the file types. Hit OK.
9. Repeat step 7 -- still nothing.
Actual Results:
When using the filters, no files/directories were shown.
Expected Results:
Even if there is some hidden feature/bug which is hiding hidden files, I would
still expect non-hidden files matching the pattern to be shown. Instead
nothing was shown at all. I also do expect there to be a setting or some way
to get hidden files to be shown.
