Find in Files doesn't search in hidden folders

Post by Defenestration »

As the title suggests, Find in Files does not search in folders with the hidden attribute bit set. Is there any way to make TextPad search within hidden folders ?

If not, can someone from Helios please list this under the known problems forum.

Find In Files doesn't search in hidden files either. I'm sure TextPad 5 is just around the corner, and so I make this plea to the developers -

Can you add another checkbox to the Find In Files dialog like "Search in Hiddens Files/Folders", so that it's possible to keep the current behaviour while giving the user the option of searching in hidden files and folders if they require.

Without this feature in TextPad, FIF has a fatal design flaw IMHO.

Please add it to TP 5......
