      Hi,

      > I can't  see hidden folders and files in the project tree.
      At first glance, I would say that this is a problem of rights from ms-windows

      Can you see such folders and files via the ms-explorer ?

      Thanks for your report,
      Pierre.

      Yep. I've tried running as administrator still can't. Even logging into the locked superuser account with a hack and it doesn't see them.

      Interestingly though, I tried creating some folders and they appeared in the tree. I made them hidden and they stayed in the tree and they would expand and i could see their contents as normal, but when i restarted dev-php they didn't appear.

      Thanks
      Rob

        Next question: which version of Windows are you running?

          This question helped me to explore... the ms-explorer path ;)
          Thanks, Frédéric.

        Hi Rob,

        Unbelievable. This program is starting to act like a human being :-D
        Seriously,
        1- If the folder is already hidden, then Dev-PHP can't see it.
        2- Changing the status of a visible folder to hidden doesn't matter while Dev-PHP is running.

        Well, this could be an option inside ms-explorer.
        Menu Tools -> Options... -> Display (2nd tab)
        The radio button "Do not display hidden files and folders" should be on.

        At least, this worked for me. Best regards,
        Pierre.

      Windows version - x64 Vista, sorry, shouldv'e mentioned that sooner. Do Not Display Hidden files and Folders is turned on.

      Another thing I should mention, I can see them in Open File dialogues etc, just not in the tree.

      Sorry about that.
      This one must be off in order to display hidden files.
      I had assumed that the button was active and that it was causing the issue.

      >> The radio button "Do not display hidden files and folders" should be on... /if yes then turn it off/

      wasn't think ing what i was writing. To confirm, hidden files & folders are and always have been visible everywhere except in the dev-php project tree.

        Hello Rob,

        I'm so sorry and incredibly stupid. :-[
        Here is an experimental version which fixes this bug
        http://devphp2.free.fr/files/devphp.exe [ 1,248,768 B ]
        with the installer
        http://devphp2.free.fr/files/devphp2_nsis.exe [ 1,587,705 B ]

        Please, forgive me.

        Best regards,
        Pierre.

      Hello Pierre,

      You don't have to apologise. It's easy to get mixed up in double negatives with binary options.

      That fix seems to have worked a treat, thanks for your prompt attention.

      Kind Regards
      Robert
