In Configuration -> Options -> Ignore List, add the following line to the files and folders box:

Code: Select all

.*
and check that the ignore list is switched on (checkbox above the box).

However, this will hide both folders and files beginning with "." and will not work with files on FTP servers, within archives, plugins or virtual folders like the desktop.

For hidden files in FTP (i.e. the files on the server whose name starts with a dot), there is an internal command (switch): cm_FtpHiddenFiles

You can add this command as a toolbar shortcut or a menu item.

Thanks! However it doesn't work by your means no matter how I connect my phone to computer, usb or ftp.(I've tried both means above)
