Allow hiding parity files #25

Closed proItheus closed 5 months ago

I'm not so happy with many *.par2, *.vol*.par2 files cluttering my file browser view...

Maybe we can add an option to prefix . to .par files, so that they are all hidden. e.g. for a directory like

file1 .file2

After running par2deep-cli --hide-parity-files

file1 .file1.par2 .file1.vol000+100.par2 .file2 ..file2.par2 ..file2.vol000+100.par2

I share your distaste, but as explored here, support for alternative locations for parity files isn't consistent across implementations, and not even within (at the time) par2cmdline itself. I had my hopes up for Gopar, but it has some other outstanding bugs and development seems to have ceased, so I don't see a solution other than instructing your file browser to hide them.
