View hidden files in selection lists?

drawson1 · 11-25-2021, 08:54 AM

I'm running KOReader on a Kobo Libra H2O

I figured out how to show hidden files in the File Manager, but I don't see a way to do it in a selection list.

The place this came up is when selecting a folder for screensaver images; I'd like to use the same folder that I use for other purposes . . .bui the full path to that folder is

/mnt/onboard/.adds/vlasovsoft/sleep

but the ".adds" folder doesn't show when browsing from "GEAR"-> Screen -> Screensaver -> Settings -> Screensaver folder

Thanks!

The file chooser follows the same global setting as the file manager. If you enabled hidden files on the file manager you should see them too on any file chooser instance.

Do you see other kind of ui from "GEAR"-> Screen -> Screensaver -> Settings -> Screensaver folder? I don't have at hand a device that supports screensaver ATM

I see that same interface, but the hidden folders are not visible when I go to select a screensaver folder.

I see them just fine in the File Manager

See the attached screen shots

Have you restarted KOReader since toggling the setting?

Yes, I actually powered off the Kobo a couple of times . . . .
