Re: [Mono-dev] Show Linux "." hidden directories
OK I went back to my notes on Duplicati threads and here is whats going on with 'File Browser': /Duplicati use the system file browser, which uses the OS settings for showing hidden files. On Linux, I think this is somewhat untrue because the WinForms folder browser is not a native one. One more reason to speed up (Mono) 2.0 as that will have more native folder/file browsers./ So, even though I can enable Nautilus to show hidden files, due to Winforms not being Native, its not knowing the show hidden switch is made. This looks like it may be a Gnome/Winforms issue would anyone agree? IMHO its crippling an excellent application in Duplicati.

I tried googling the microsoft documentation, and from what i can tell, other than maybe FileOpenDialog there is no particular browser included in .net WinForms.. There is guidance on some web pages on how to make a file browser using controls like treeview and listview, but those aren't Windows forms browser controls, and the contents of those forms are populated by the application (whether they have hidden files or not, for example) and is not a built in browser. Unless i'm missing something obvious. -Rob -Rob ___ Mono-devel-list mailing list Mono-devel-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-devel-list

Well, as much as i would like to take a guess at an answer, my suggestion is to contact the Duplicati developers rather than the mono developers. They would know what they used as a 'file browser' and what the options it has are. I am not an expert, though, and someone with more expertise here may have a better answer. -Rob On 06/12/2012 05:10 PM, BigalGeorge wrote: Yes, under Linux the Nautilus browser can be enabled eg Ctrl-H to show or hide hidden, but this takes no effect on the file browser component of Mono.

Yes, under Linux the Nautilus browser can be enabled eg Ctrl-H to show or hide hidden, but this takes no effect on the file browser component of Mono.

Re: [Mono-dev] Show Linux "." hidden directories
Doesn't MD just use the native file open dialog? If I remember correctly there is an option in the Gtk file open dialog to show the hidden files.

What is the "mono browser"?
I can't easily test on Linux atm, but on OS X hidden files are returned by
System.IO.Directory.GetFiles():
$ csharp
Mono C# Shell, type "help;" for help
Enter statements below.
csharp> using System.IO;
csharp> Directory.GetFiles(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory());
{ "/Users/jon/.CFUserTextEncoding", "/Users/jon/.DS_Store",
"/Users/jon/.Xauthority", "/Users/jon/.bash_history", ...
Notice that the entries in that except begin with a '.', and thus are hidden...

[Mono-dev] Show Linux "." hidden directories
Hi is mono capable of browsing the hidden directories under Linux? Why I ask is that I have enabled them for viewing under Ubuntu eg are visible in Nautilus, but when using mono browser they are hidden. If its possible is there any url/further info to show how to achieve this under Mono.
