How to hide directories

    In IIS, it creates directories in my ALBUMS directory called _derived and _vti_cnf.

    How can these be hidden from view. I've tried setting the hidden attribute in Windows, but Linpha still see's them.

    Thanks

      are these folders created in every folder..?

      you may add more ignored files to these function in linpha/functions/db_api.php:
      get_ignore_filelist()
      replace
      ---
      return Array('Thumbs.db','ZbThumbnail.info');
      ---
      with
      ---
      return Array('Thumbs.db','ZbThumbnail.info', '_vti_cnf','_derived');
      ---

      i will add them to these function in next release

      No, Just in the root albums directory. But they are created all over the place in my webserver.

      Actually I'd rather see

      return Array('Thumbs.db','ZbThumbnail.info', '_vti_*','_derived');

      Because it's not only vti_cnf, but a few others too.
      Thanks

        i think that trick with the wildcard * isn't implemented... ;-)

      BTW, That didn't seem to work. I've rebooted and also tried just restarting iis, but the directories still show up. Do I need to "recreate" the directories under Thumbnails/Exif?

      Still didn't work.  Sorry.  I will try to do it on the IIS side. There must be a way.  Thanks

      these directories are spawned by Frontpage extensions, the only way around them that I have found is to disable FP extensions and then remove them
