[DW 19 on macOS] How to hide "hidden files and folders" in the DW file manager?

In the filemanager "finder" on macOS (I use the latest version) you can hide files/folders in two ways:

a leading dot in the name or the terminal command "chflags hidden".

Dreamweaver shows those files/folders.

Please how can I achieve, that DW hides those files/folders in it's own file manager?

Thanks

Sometimes I miss fair and critical voices in this forum.

Almost everyone here seems to justify any behaviour of DW.

For me it very clearly a deficiency, when a file manager of an app does not overtake the behaviour of the standard file manager of the OS. Here we talk about hidden files.

If it isn't intended to be managed or transferred by Dreamweaver, it really shouldn't be in the site folder. Dreamweaver shouldn't be expected to execute OS-level management, and that would be potentially problematic were it introduced into features. I could only imagine how many countless unintended document "hidings" would cause unending file and GIT/repository errors, not to mention misleading team devs. You would be safer setting expectations and standards/convention at your team level to get your file managers to safely move the files out of the site as part of their process.

What I have seen is

Since the release of macOS Sierra, when in Finder, it is now possible to use the shortcut:

CMD + SHIFT + .

I do not use a Mac, so I cannot verify.

Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!

Hi Ben.

You missunderstood me.

I know how to hide files/folders in the finder.

I like to know how to hide them in the file manager of DW.
