Hidden files

[MortezaBiabani]

Hi,

Suppose we have hidden files in folders. But we do not want to announce how many hidden files we have.

How to manage this section for display? Because in addition to the previous problem, this section does not display correctly for large file sizes.

Next,
Do we need other apps to manage hidden files and encryption, especially hidden or unhidden them in the file manager?

Best,
Morteza

Sorry, but I don't understand the questions in this issue.

Also:

But we do not want to announce how many hidden files we have.

This is never announced, and the screenshot you gave does not match up with the actual label set there.

How hidden files are created in Os.js. How do we want to manage them?

I did not see this feature in the mount point (https://manual.os-js.org/v3/guide/filesystem/) capability. Is it possible to do something at this level with a visibility feature?
It looks like we're writing code into VFS and then restricting the display of its icon.

Sorry, I took that figure from https://demo.os-js.org/. Of course, showing the number of hidden files is really a bug :). But suppose we have a system administrator and this feature is not bad for him :).

If you run on a Linux host there is no such thing as a "hidden" file. It's just prefixed with a dot, so .my-directory will be filtered out.

That demo is super old and not relevant.
