This is all my attempts to make this filter hide folder "hideme"

SUMMARY
When displaying folders from a given directory, trying to filter does not seem to work. Show matching leaves the widget blank no matter what way I try to format the filter while hide matching doesn't hide anything I write.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add Folder View widget
2. Open its Filter settings
3. Try filtering out any item

OBSERVED RESULT
No change to any filtered request.

EXPECTED RESULT
Item(s) should be filtered per setting request.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Nicolas Fella 2021-09-22 19:41:51 UTC
What seems to work is 'hideme' as file name pattern and selecting all entries in the list below (using the select all button at the bottom)
Comment 2 Nicolas Fella 2021-09-22 19:43:07 UTC
it doesn't have to be all of them, just the 'inode/directory' entry

Alright well thanks, that solves my issue. I remember this working way back in like 5.15 but I guess sometime down the line they unchecked that option by default?

Thanks for the help!
