FreeCommander Forum

Hello !

Could any of you answer that question:

I use FreeCommander by having a window and, on its left, its tree structure.
I chose to display - or not - the "hidden files" for the main window, but this choice does not automatically affect the tree window. I must specify the choice especially for this one because these two choices are apparently independent of each other

Hence my question: is it possible to make sure that the choice of "hidden files" in the main window is automatically activated for the tree window ?

Thank you in advance for any answer!

I agree, the option and shortcut for "Show/hide hidden and system files" should affect also the tree, if possible.

Anyway, it should be possible to show/hide items in file list and tree, but also show/hide items only for file list and only for tree.

BTW Keyboard shortcut to Show/hide hidden folders in tree is missing.

Hi,
for hidden, sys, hidden & sys files you can define “switches” in the toolbar.
Click in the toolbar. In the list that appears, look for white logos with blue letters:
-H for show hidden files
-S for system file
-HS for system and hidden Files
The switches act as showing yes or no
The switches work in the file list, but not in the tree

Thank you for your informations which has served me well to create a shortcut

For example, I did: Tools -> Define Keyboard Shortcuts -> View ==> a list of actions with/without shortcuts

In this list, I chose a line without a specified shortcut: "Show/hide hidden and system files"

So I assigned him a shortcut: [CTRL + Num(Dot)] ===> OK !

It is a shortcut only for files in main window and not also on tree window, but it is more easy than "tools -> settings" way

Then I checked that my shortcut is in the list of the file "fc_shortcuts.txt"

For the file window you also can use rightclick on statusbar.
There are options for "hidden files" and "system files".
