Show hidden files by default in FileDialog

Platform Core

Is there a way to make hidden files show by default in FileDialog? There once was set_show_hidden, is the name changed for the new dialog?

Cheers,

Looking at the documentation, it doesn’t seem like its still an option.

You have to consider that nowadays GTK doesn’t create the file chooser dialog itself. It instead request the system to provide the file chooser. Therefore, if hidden files should be shown or not is dependent on the setting in the system provided file chooser, which is outside of the control of GTK or an application.

Thanks for the reply! Hope that the portals can implement this in the future, so that GTK can have a implementation :slight_smile:
