Is it possible to hide local files starting with a dot (=invisible files on a Mac, e. g. ".DS_Store") from the "Files" panel ("Window"/"Files")?

It might make things a lot easier if you define a local site folder for each project.   That way you're not looking at contents on your entire hard  drive.

Hi Nancy,

I don't use DW for large(r) projects, but usually only for single files. Therefore, in my case, it's often not worth defining a "Site"...

It's absolutely worth it to define a folder for your projects.  You can create one common folder called Empty_Site for example and use that whenever you need to edit something.   That's the way DW is designed to work.
