Describe the bug After creating a snapshot that includes hidden (dot) files and folders in Home, you can't browse them from Timeshift. To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create snapshot with hidden files and folders included in Home
  2. Click on 'Browse' in Timeshift GUI
  3. It opens in 'Files' but 'Show hidden files" cannot toggle to on
  4. However, hidden files and folders in Home are visible if 'Files' is opened normally, i.e., not from the Timeshift GUI.

Expected behavior 'Show hidden files' should be able to toggle on
