Description Elmar Höfner 2009-12-07 13:12:32 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.1)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Digikam's album view does not respect the unix/linux custom to consider directories hidden if the name starts with a dot, but it does so with files. 

It would be useful if one could choose to actually hide hidden directories. Some other programs (e.g. rawstudio) create hidden subdirectories (name starting with a dot on linux/unix, "hidden"-flag on other OS) containing thumb images, which are also counted in statistics (and thus bias the statistics) and are of no particular use in digikam.
Comment 1 Marcel Wiesweg 2009-12-07 17:04:31 UTC 
I think it makes sense to ignore directories when QFileInfo::isHidden() is true.
There may be some cross-platform trouble when digikam on Windows accesses a network storage with Unix-style hidden files, but then, that's life. Or we just always check for Unix-style "." hidden files.

Still valid with 2.0.0 RC ?

Yes, hidden directories are still listed.
Comment 4 Simon Oosthoek 2011-08-04 08:29:12 UTC 
I confirm this is still a problem in 2.0.0 final.
Comment 5 Jonas Norlander 2011-09-18 18:39:07 UTC 
I like to see an option to hide directories, not only linux "dot" directories. In my case I store all my photos on an Synology NAS and it keeps create directories named "@eaDir" with thumbnailes used for it's DLNA media server.
