#7566 closed feature request (fixed)

WIN: don't display hidden/system folders

Description

as raised in http://forums.scummvm.org/viewtopic.php?t=3889 - the linux version of ScummVM doesn't display folders starting with "." (convention for hiding files on *nix) - analogous, on windows folders like the trash bin (\recycler) and other system folders probably shouldn't be shown

hardcoding those folders is a bad idea, but I think it should be possible to just not list any folders with the file attributes "s" (system) or "h" (hidden)

C:\>attrib C:\recycler SH C:\RECYCLER

C:\>

Though I don't have much say in the matter, I would be against hiding hidden folders/files. It doesn't really harm anything.

And, the system ones should be listed because older versions of Windows still use the Windows folder for the config file.

But

Kirben, any oppinion on this?

Implemented in 2d2ee68 by honoring the hidden parameter to the AbstractFSNode::getChildren() function

Hidden folders (such as the Recycle bin) are no longer visible in the file browser (as was already the case for the Posix and related backends). This is particularly visible on system disks where the majority of the listed folders were hidden, system-related and not user-writable (Boot, Recovery, System Volume Info, MSOCache, Recycle Bin, Config.Msi, Recycler, etc.)
