Xdialog show hidden files & dirs.? [ Solved, sort of...]

#1 Post by sunburnt »

Subject says it all.

I need to select a hidden file but the dialog won`t show them.

### Solution doesn`t work:

Code: Select all

DF=`Xdialog --stdout --title " Select Dependency File." --fselect ./.* 0 0`
It would show only hidden files ( if it worked...).

# Apparently a "." in the file textbox and press tab shows hidden files and dirs. in the current dir.
The textbox must be selected or have focus.

I don`t see how this works, from DaveS:
When the dialogue appears for you to navigate to the file you want, right click on the background and select to show hidden files.
### Pretty sad all in all... :roll:
