Hidden Directory Issue
I just installed FileMan v2.0.3. I entered the "Preferences" area after logging in and checked "Do you want to show hidden files?". As expected, all of the hidden files showed up just fine. However, the hidden directories (those that begin with a "." in their filename) can not be accessed unless you manually type in their directory path. They are not hyperlinked in the file list. This issue does not occur for the hidden files themselves, as they are correctly hyperlinked in the file list. It only affects the hidden directories. Why is this occuring, and is there a way to fix it? Thanks for any help that you can provide. I appreciate it.

Nevermind. I figured it out. It just required removing some code from a line in "Commands.pm".

Mind sharing exactly what you changed so other users... such as myself, may also change this?

In .../private/lib/GT/FileMan/Commands.pm on line 183:

Change this:

Code:
($file =~ /^\./ or !-x $fullfile) and $hash->{disabled} = 1;

To this:

Code:
($file = !-x $fullfile) and $hash->{disabled} = 1;
