Follow the instructions at the beginning of this page and reboot.

However, if the Kobo has already indexed those hidden files, you'll have to delete them one at a time from the user interface to remove them from Kobo's database. That'll delete the files from the file system too, so after that, you'll need to re-copy Plato as well.

EDIT: Actually, I'm not sure if that regular expression assumes hidden directories only on the top level and won't affect nested hidden folders. Perhaps flashing the file in the OP would work better?
