Description lkishalmi 2001-12-29 14:56:56 UTC 
I usually work in the following environment:

  The sources are kept in a CVS system and the classes are created in a
deployment directory. So I set the compiler target to this directory. For me the
deployment directory is not importat to see, so I switch it to be hidden.

  After I switch it to be hidden I can not select it in the Compiler Target
combo box. So I think the filter criteria should be modified to display the
writeable and hidden filesystems too.

It's not possible for 3.3*, and I doubt that it is possible for 3.*.
Many modules use hidden filesystems for their services and the list
would be really confusing.
The option was specifically designed to not show hidden filesystems
(because of their widespread usage for modules' internal purposes).
