K3b asks user for confirmation each time before adding hidden files.

I am largely satisfied with K3b, and it is currently the most sophisticated graphical disc authoring tool for Linux. However, the first burden I noticed on K3b in comparison to ImgBurn is the pop-up that reads:

"Do you also want to add hidden files?"

My answer: If I didn't want to add hidden files, I wouldn't have selected them to be added them to the project in the first place. 

This dialogue box is like asking "Do you also want to add video files?" - if I didn't want to, I would not be trying to add those files right now.

This dialogue box serves no purpose. It is pointless. All it does is add an extra step whenever the user wants to add files.

Please always add hidden files to the project without asking.

Just like file managers copy everything inside a selected folder, K3b should add everything inside a folder to the project by default.

Not only is this message annoying, but the undesirable option "do not add" is pre-selected and if I hit the space bar while that button is highlighted, I need to start over adding the files.

On the first glance, "Do you also want to add hidden files?" might seem like a trivial step, but repetition is where the annoyance comes from.

When adding thousands of files, the "Do you also want to add hidden files?" pop up usually appears with a delay. So the user has to wait until they can confirm that yes, they want to add hidden files.

Anyone who frequently uses K3b will understand how annoying this dialogue is. It gets in the way and interrupts the workflow.

I hope you will consider my suggestion to remove this annoyance, because any removed annoyance is progress.
