Remote System Explorer doesn't show files starting with '.' [message #246040]

Hi,

I have problem with remote system explorer. It doesn't show files which
names start with '.'. I understand that it's a feature but it would be
great if it would be customizable.. where can I mess with it?
Does anyone know how to force explorer to show all files?

There's file filter option in RSE but it's not set to filter those files
so I presume that it's setup somewhere on higher level.

I'll appreciate any hint on that. It's really annoying that to edit some
file I need to open it in other editor because eclipse won't show it in
explorer. It doesn't make sense.

Oh, I have the same problem and searched for some help in the
documentation. But even if I filter the patterns " *, .*" it has no effects.
Does anybody know how to customize rse to show these hidden files.

Okay, my silly fault.
If you choose Window > Preferences > Remote Systems > Files, you can
find the option "Show hidden files" on the right hand site at the lower
corner
of the scroll windows.

Sorry,
