Decrypt linux hidden folders ".foldername"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. encrypt a folder named .encrypted on your dropbox account
2. try to decrypt the folder using cryptonite
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

When connected to my dropbox account from within cryptonite I cannot see the 
hidden folders in that account (like .encrypted) So I can't decrypt those encfs 
volumes.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Cryptonite 0.7.6 on Android 4.0.4 using EncFS 1.7.4
Encrypted dropbox .encrypted folder using CentOS 6.3 and EncFS 1.7.4

Please provide any additional information below.

Would be nice if cryptonite can read hidden folders too.

Can't reproduce this (see attached). Can you see the folder with the Dropbox 
app?

As in the screenshots, I can see the .encrypted encfs volumes in my dropbox 
application but not in the crytonite app..

Can't reproduce this on the emulator either.

1) Can you see folders that don't start with a "." in Cryptonite's file browser 
at all?
2) Can you see hidden folders that start with something other than 
".encrypted*"?
3) Have you granted full or app folder access to Cryptonite?

Thanks

I had indeed the app folder access enabled, which was the source of this issue. 
After disabling this option and working with full granted crytonite dropbox 
access I could see the .hidden folders and mount the encfs volumes.

My bad. Thanks for helping me on this issue!

Not sure this is your bad. Were the hidden folders located in your app folder 
(typically "Apps/Cryptonite App Folder/")?

No, the hidden folders were located in the root of my Dropbox account. Because 
the app folder setting of crytonite was on I guess crytonite only checks the 
app folder? And that folder was empty.. So cryptonite is still working as it 
should :)
