It would be very helpful to have a button or menu option to quickly hide and or show dot files and directories for the remote server.

    For server related matters, you should contact your hosting provider.

    Hello Nancy,

     

    The function I'm requesting would be a Dreamweaver function. It would be identical to the way cPanel File Manager works, they have a Settings button which brings up this overlay: 

     

     

    As you can see there's an option to "Show Hidden Files (dotfiles)" and this is exactly the function I'm asking to be added to Dreamweaver.

     

    Would you be so kind as to submit my request to the appropriate department.

     

    Thank you.

    Theres NO pretence about it, please elaborate if you think I've got anything incorrect about what I have said. Sounds like you have been brain washed by some cult to keep denying simple facts, which anyone can find out if they care to. 

     

    1) Show me a main stream jobs board with numerous positions for Wappler users?

    2) Show me where app connect appears in any serious web-development poll or Wappler for that matter being used as one of the most popular editors.

    3) Show me a dedicated website which documents app connect in terms of using it without Wappler

    4) Show me a community other than the Wappler forum where you can find answers and solutions regarding the use of Wappler and app connect

     

    Come on be real. I'm not trying to pour cold water on Wappler at all here (its useful to a certain demographic, perhaps you for instance, being mostly retired, no longer career concerned, I would think and possibly finding it easier than keeping pace with current workflows involved in main stream development, such as React, Vue, Angular). You keep on saying I'm pretending, well go ahead and prove it.

    You should be able to see them when Hidden Files are turned on.

    Click the fly out menu in the upper right of the Files window (3 bar icon) > View > put a check by Show Hidden Files

    Hi Jon,

     

    Thank you for the information. Sorry I forgot to mention I'm on macOS and there is no such menu option.

    Hi @Andrew Bajka,

     

    Thanks for writing to us. The option provided by Jon is available on macOS too. Please refer to the below screenshot for enabling the menu option on macOS.
