Description Dotan Cohen 2010-08-09 18:50:51 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

When using the "Browse local hard drive for content" option, one cannot display hidden files and directories. Furthermore, even if one does know the name of the directory that he needs, entering it into the editable addressbar does not work. Please fix this, thanks.

Reproducible: Always

This seems to be a duplicate of bug 244952, which is more general for "other files" and not only for hidden ones.

Not really, as the other bug is about a restriction of the file browser to display only media files, which is another filter.

No, not a dupe. Thanks, though.
