Under Windows 8.1 and PyScripter 4.1.1 to create a new project, how to import a hidden directory?

In Windows File Explorer you can select to show hidden items. I do not have access to Windows 8.1, but I recall it was part of a dialog with settings.

Then you can work with the hidden directory as if it was not hidden (File open etc.). The alternative is to unhide it.

Change the directory attribute to "unhide" is the last alternative I will consider:-)

Yes, there are many app which has option of showing the hidden directory/file, but not in the "Import Directory" dialog in PyScripter :-(

I am not sure about Windows 8.1, but in Windows >10, the dialog shows hidden directories, if the File Explorer is setup to show hidden files.

Time to upgrade Windows? :)

Oh, it's great to know that the PyScripter use file explorer to import directory! Yes, after setting the file explorer to show the hidden item, it is working now. Thank you.
