Show hidden folders and files in sidebar

[Arthur Goldberg]

Hi

I'd like to see hidden folders (e.g., those that start with period) in the sidebar directory & file navigation panel. Is this possible please?

I'm using TW 5.5.2 on OS X 10.10.5.

Thanks

You mean like in browser windows? Select 'Show Everything' from
the magnifying glass menu at the bottom of the sidebar.

Thanks Christopher

I see a 'Show' option, but it's grayed out. I see the same view on multiple folders. See screenshot:

I have the same problem using TW 5.5.2. on OS X 10.11.6. I can open hidden files individually from the Finder/Open dialog, they just don't show up in the Disk Browser sidebar.

I'd love to fix this...

It's a bug in TextWrangler; but because TextWrangler has been sunsetted, the fix is to start using BBEdit (which you will find to be largely identical). More information here: <http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/>.
