Show invisible files in DW CC2018

[studioavanti]

Hello,

Anybody knows where is the "Show invisible files" option in Dreamweaver CC2018 to display files like .htaccess in the "Files" panel?

It was previously located in a dropdown menu at top right of the "Files" panel, but this panel has been redesigned in CC2018 and i can't find the dropdown anymore.

Thanks for your infos.

Files in the panel are shown as per setting in the operating system. Dreamweaver does not have a setting as far as I know.

Sorry, not sure i understand your answer.
If i create a .htaccess file locally in DW, it shows in the "Local files" left column although MacOS doesn't show those files beggining by a dot in its Finder.

There's already a .htaccess on my server, but DW doesn't show it in the "Distant server" right column.

If i copy my local .htaccess to distant server in DW, it appears in the DW "Distant server" right column… a bit strange behavior.

I'm pretty sure DreamWeaver used to have a "Show invisible files" option in the "Files" panel, but i can't find it neither in DW CC2015.

It should have been removed by Adobe at some point.

Anyway, thanks for your answer.

yes you're right, you have a show invisible files, on the file panel, top right menu , you will have a pop up menu... sorry I use CS6, but it is still in the same room

Could this be it then?

@BenPleysier Yes, it is this dropdown, thanks. As i described above, my "Files" panel currentlly displays in local/distant mode and the dropdown doesn't appears in this mode (ask Adobe why 😉

See, no dropdown in this display mode.

Birnou, thanks for your screenshot that put me on the track: this dropdown is still in DW CC2018, that's the good news.

But it's still tricky to reach it too, no thanks to Adobe for their weird UI sometimes:

- Switch "Files" panel display by clicking on the "Reduce to display only local or distant site" button (just before the search box).

- Then the dropdown appears at top right of the "Files panel".
