Version: 1.3.9 (using KDE KDE 3.4.3) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux hidden folders to be shown and selectable in the amarok collection preferences. want to add my ~/.xchat2/download/ dir (and don't want to change the xchat incoming-folder) i don't know if this has been changed in version 1.4, which it doesn't run stably on this machine.
This was just taken out for reasons specified in bug 115478.
Amarok 1.4.3, KDE 3.5.5, Kubuntu Edgy A recent change to KDE creates a .hidden file in a folder that can hide folders and files without requiring a dot in front of the filename. Now, because Amarok doesn't have a method to display hidden folders in its collection manager, those folders cannot be added to collections without hand-editing the .hidden file. See https://launchpad.net/bugs/66582 for more info. I think there should be a right-click context menu in Amarok's collection manager to allow hidden folders to be selected for scanning. Thanks
I also agree that this should be added, and to get around bug 115478, just don't add recursively into hidden directories. Like, if I share my /home/user/ folder don't add /home/user/.hiddenfiles/, but give me the option to explicitly select /home/user/.hiddenfiles/.
A workaround to this is to close Amarok and edit your /home/mike/.kde/share/config/amarokrc file manually and add the hidden directories you want
WONTFIX. Hidden directories are hidden for a reason.
