Is there a way to hide hidden folders from the project view? There has been a lot of talk about Subversion integration, and one thing that is very annoying about Subversion is that it creates hidden .svn folders in each folder. This is where it keeps all the data concerning source code changes. The problem is that when you go to publish the website to FTP, it sends the hidden folders with it. Inside each of those .svn folders is essentially copies of all the files you work with, meaning you upload each files twice if not more.
Possibly a more robust solution is creating a filter for files/folders matching a regular expression.
Anywho, I was just wondering if something like that was not already implemented or if there could be some plans in the making for adding it in the future.
Thanks guys! Keep up the great work on your wonderful product.

Is there anyway this could be revisited and added to the 2008 release?

It seems that hidden files are not included in the list of files inside Publish Project dialog window. So there should be no problem with that.

Re: Filter out hidden folders
if you're using svn, why not run an update on the server instead of using FTP anyway? part of the beauty of svn!
Re: Filter out hidden folders
Because there are people ( like mesyrupcore wrote:if you're using svn, why not run an update on the server instead of using FTP anyway? part of the beauty of svn!
), that have a virtual machine installed on their windows systems to have a nice linux based working copy environment, which is accessable via (s)ftp. And if you are using subversion at such a working copy, you always see those hidden .svn directories in WeBuilder file browser.Nevertheless, they don't bother me ... just wanted to answer your aloud thoughts

+1 I would like to see this feature, too. Hidden files and folders in the project view are disturbing.wahh wrote:Is there a way to hide hidden folders from the project view?
