i never used VF to "hide" something, only to "get what i need in front".
btw, Ghost Filters should be the name of this hiding-feature!

Yep, I like Ghost Filters a lot. But it's hard to use the term in the GUI in a consistent way. Check next beta and let's have some ideas how to get "Ghost Filters" into it...

... or wait... I might have an idea... :)


Note from the lab: I worked on this the whole day. It will be incredibly powerful! New beta tomorrow with lots of ghost power! ... :ninja:

I could also envision any combination wtih "Stealth" in it. To indicate it's something less visible, less GUI, less openly exposed.

"Ghost hidden folders" is an option already taken up by other programs, but in an almost opposite way, to actually see the hidden stuff, in a ghosted way, I.e. dimmed, faded.

Love it how a small wish (Treat dot files as hidden) is sparking off a major new feature. :D
