#235 Option to index hidden files

[noroom]

I often use Launchy to navigate to long folder paths like C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ except I can't get there because Application Data is a hidden folder.

It would be great if we could set "Include hidden files" the same way we can set "Include executables" and "Include directories" in the File Types that get indexed for a Directory entry in the Catalog tab. That way, I could set "Include directories" and "Include hidden files" and set no extension to the C:\ entry, to be able to navigate to any path.

Maybe it would be a good idea to split the option into the following two: "Include hidden files" and "Include hidden folders".

Try checking the "Show hidden files in browse mode" option under "System Options" on the "General" tab. With that selected I'm already able to do what you suggest.

Thank you, works wonderfully. The suggestion I made would offer other functionality too (indexing hidden files for some folders), so maybe it's good I missed this setting. ;)
