I have hunted through the interface, and I can't find a setting that would allow hidden files to appear in the list in the file browser. I can find those files by using File / Open, which shows me a standard file dialog, and the options in that allow me to see hidden files (that option is checked on, and stays on). But the list never shows them. How is this preference meant to be governed?
Thanks in advance,
Walter
Hi,
In a MAC you’ll make the hidden files visible as follows: In the terminal, execute these two commands:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE killall Finder

Ah, but then that makes them visible everywhere in Finder. I was hoping for something more surgical, which would show them in the TM sidebar browser only. Does anyone have any TM-specific suggestions?
Thanks,
Walter

If you move focus to file browser then you can select View → Show Invisible Files (⌥⌘I).
I do realize that this is basically impossible to discover on your own…
Thanks! That works great. Is there any way to make that preference stick across projects?

I actually thought this was a sticky (global) setting, but I see it is not.
I will add a todo about this.
Although if you are interested in only selected dot-files, or maybe all but `.DS_Store`, then the other method proposed is recommended.
For changing that globally, one can edit the _Exclude/Include files matching_ in Preferences → Projects.
One can also add it to `.tm_properties` files, which can be tied to specific directory etc.

In addition to what others have already mentioned. It’s also possible to configure this via Preferences -> Projects -> Include files matching. This will apply to all projects.
