Hi,

Some time ago it was possible to select files that started with a `.' with applications like thunderbird. They are not displayed any more and the option to show them is gone. I guess there is a global option for KDE somewhere.

Is this right? If so, where is it?

Thanks and greetings

Stefan

If your are talking about the gtk file dialog (like the one in thunderbird), right-clicking on the file pane, gives you the option to show hidden (dot files). //Sylvester
