hi there, i just switched from openmotif to lesstif-0.93.40 and discovered that the X resource; *fileFilterStyle: XmFILTER_HIDDEN_FILES doesnt work anymore... well it at least partially works. I use 2 main *tif applications, nedit and xmgrace. Xmgrace uses the more recent motif-2.1 API and is therefore able to use a "show hidden files" button in their file browser window, and does indeed not show hidden files files reqeusted (it also doesn't pick up my *fileFilterStyle, but works when i select the 'hide' button). nedit however just uses a standard file browser and show therefore pick up the XmFILTER_HIDDEN_FILES variable reagrdless... but doesnt. I thikn something is broken in the Lesstif code for pickign up the X resource, but i don't thinkt he implementation is broken...
hope this helps... in fact i mentioned tihs before on this list and someone pointed me to the part of the code in question, but i foolishly deleted that email and cant find my old message in the archives... if somebody could please tell me again, i might have a looksey. thanks in advance!
