RetroArch used to show the hidden files and folders on Linux, but now it does not anymore. How can I see them ?
Hmm, I don’t know of any way to do that. When did the behavior change?
Recently, I think. I’m using the latest retroarch-git package in AUR (Arch Linux).
Ah, it seems there’s a config option, “show_hidden_files”. Can you verify that it’s set to “true”?
Yes. It is set to “true”.
Ok, if it’s set to true and not showing hidden files, it must have actually broken at some point. Are you able to compile it yourself? If so, and you have the time to bisect it, it’ll help us track down what broke.
My fresh build of v1.6.0 and the one installed on a ubuntu box via the 17.04 ubuntu repo, both shows dot files on linux.
In fact, that is the only work around for not adding recursive folders that i’ve found.
I keep my roms in the console directory, and inside i have a .hack dir with all the hacked roms, and that dir, despite showing up on file browser, is ignored when i add the parent dir to the play lists.
