Summary
This PR adds a new toggle option "Show hidden files" to the file explorer menu (three-dot overflow menu). When disabled (default), files and directories starting with a dot (
.) are filtered out from the view.Motivation
When browsing remote Linux/Unix systems via SFTP, the file explorer displays all dotfiles (
.bashrc,.config,.local,.cache, etc.) by default. These hidden configuration files clutter the view and make it harder to navigate to the actual content you're looking for. This feature provides a cleaner browsing experience while still allowing users to access hidden files when needed.Changes
