could you check in the settings in the lower left section of the files UI, if "show hidden files" is selected or not?
files or folders starting with a .
(dot) are treated as hidden, as they are with any UNIX like OS
Thanks a lot. When I select "Show hidden files" the folder is shown. I was not aware of this option. I would suggest to enable this setting by default to avoid confusion.
well no, I wouldn't say so, as this would probably confuse much more people then because synced and on OS level hidden files would then be visible in Nextcloud...
I guess the better approach would be to show a hint/warning when a user enters a .
(dot) as first character for a new folder name (and on rename as well); what do you think @nextcloud/designers
The warning is already present for /\./
, we can extend it to /\..+/
so that any string that starts with a dot is matched
As i understand it is not about an invalid filename but about giving a hint that the folder might be hidden for a name like "...test".
