// gimp and dotfiles //

it appears the file-open dialog doesn't seem to have support for dotdirs. is their any intention to support this with a "Show Hidden" button or similar? by dotdirs i mean 'hidden' directories like ~/.somegame or ~/.mywindowmanager/backgrounds etc

while i can work with images outside and move them to a hidden directory, game-data (textures and the like) are often stored in such locations and so during modification of a game (for instance) working with the gimp is slightly more troublesome.

cheers,

julian

right-click on the dialog face and there is an option to "Show hidden files".

you will have to right click everytime if you wish to see the hidden files.

this new file selector is easier that way.

great, that works. it didn't occur to me to RMB on the dialog itself.
