            Bug ID: 117351
           Summary: Cannot open files from hidden directories
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 4.3.7.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: UI
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: msleger at micron.com

Description:
One of the directories in my document path is preceded by a dot
(<somePath>/.name/<morePath>/file.odg) and thus does not show up in the
directory listing for navigating to a file in the Open dialog. Understandable
since it's a "hidden" directory, but there is no option in the dialog to show
hidden directories!

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click Open on the toolbar or select File > Open from the menu.
2. Attempt to navigate into a directory whose name begins with ".".
3. Repeat step 2.

Actual Results:  
Cannot navigate to the directory, and there is no option provided for enabling
the functionality.

Expected Results:
I expect to be able to navigate into any valid directory that I have viewer
permissions for.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Provide a checkbox in the Open dialog for showing hidden directories. (Duh.)
