<pre>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.)
