I guess considering a .<name> directory hidden > under Windows is not ideas, but I can live with it. Make a decent wrapper routine that does Fahidden on the platforms that support it, and that masks "." on platforms that you think should. > Couldn't FindFirst() and FindNext() do the same test under unix type > OS's and then set the faHidden appropriately? I don't think is wise. This is presentation behaviour, and should be solved in corresponding (G)UI components, not on the system level. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
