Bug ID: 467216 Summary: Cannot search hidden files and folders without indexing them first Classification: I don't know Product: kde Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org Reporter: david.cortes.riv...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY I want to be able to search hidden files and folders with KDE's file manager (Dolphin) like it works with Windows Explorer. But (a) it won't let me search for hidden files and folders unless I index the folders where I want this first; (b) the search settings work independently of what's configured in Dolphin. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Go to System Settings -> Search -> File Search. 2. Try to enable searching hidden files and folders without building an index. OBSERVED RESULT Not possible. EXPECTED RESULT Should let me search hidden files and folders without indexing pre-selected folders beforehand, like MS Windows does. Moreover, it should recognize when I search from Dolphin whether I want hidden files/folders from the setting that I am putting in Dolphin.
