DecSync directory in hidden folder #30

Open kocjs opened 4 years ago

I have set up Syncthing to using hidden folders. How can i pick a hidden folder as DecSync directory?

As a workaround i have been able to set up a hidden folder with the integrated file browser. Then I instruct syncthing to use that folder. So far it works.

Using a hidden folder is currently not supported, as the file picker doesn't show them by default. Do you have a specific reason for using a hidden folder? It does clutter things a bit and I don't see a reason for supporting it.

With the last app i am not able to use the above workaround.

Reason: Well, just hiding it from my better part, so it does not get deleted by change... What is a recommended alternative to set up the DecSync directory for this use case?

Thank you for you great work.
