Hiding invisible files in listfiles ...

texte = I want to write a template that properly hides invisible files on all platforms, no matter which platform the template is installed on. I need to use listfiles, and if I do NOT use the optional "showinvisibles=F" parameter I can use "path=" to identify the current folder -- this works on all platforms. But the moment I add the optional "showinvisibles=F" parameter on MacOS 9.x, the "path=" parameter fails to work, which basically destroys my ability to use this optional parameter. If this is a bug, I don't ever expect it to be fixed, which means I have to hide invisible files some other way, for example by identifying how invisible files are named on different platforms, then using hideif's to hide them -- instead of showinvisibles ... which I don't think works properly on all platforms anyways. The problem is, I don't know how invisible files are named on the different platforms. If you do, please tell me so I can come up with a truly cross-platform solution here, thanks. -- Sincerely, Kenneth Grome www.kengrome.com ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
