Show hidden files in project list?

[North Krimsly]

Greetings all.

I have two questions I hope you can help me with:

1. I want to be able to see hidden files (like .htaccess) in the project file list pane.  Is there a way to configure this in BBEdit?
2. When I turn on View->Text Display->Show line numbers. the setting does not persist the next time I open BBEedit and open the same file.  Is there a way to make this setting persist?

Thanks alot,

North

Have a look at the magnifying glass icon at the bottom of the project
window's sidebar. You should see an option in the menu to show
invisible items.

It sounds like you're setting this option only for the current
document. To have BBEdit show line numbers for all documents by
default, go to Preferences -> Text Status Display and enable the "Show
Line Numbers" checkbox.

Does that help?

The magnifying glass at the bottom of the project list has settings for

√ Text Files Only
√ Invisible Items

That is a temporary override for the current editing session.

You can make this persistent by changing the value in the preferences:
Text Status Display -> Show line numbers.

I just found this thread while searching for a way to display dot files in a project's file list. The conversation says there was an option for "Invisible Items" but that's circa 2009 (6 years ago) and clearly doesn't apply to BBEdit 11 anymore.

The new options are: "All Available", "Text Files Only" and "Everything". I'm having a hard time telling the difference between the choices in my projects, but that's probably because I'm not working with some subset of filetypes that would highlight them.

Anyway, my particular issue is an extension of the original poster's: I would like to see .gitignore and .htaccess files (even in project subfolders), but as an extension, I do not want to see .vagrant/ or .node_modules/ folders. Is there a convenient way that I'm overlooking to see dot files but suppress dot folders? I've experimented with the Filters, but they aren't going to cut it.

Thanks,

Brian
