If untick "Show hidden files and folders", the goto scripting command result in error when trying to access hidden locations. Is there anyway to make goto command access hidden locations?

Configuration > General > Tree and List > Items in Tree and List > Show hidden files and folders

Not that I know of, but a semi-workaround that might suffice depending on your use case would be a search instead:

Code: Select all

goto "c:\hidden file.ext? /a";
I think if you were going to be using it with folders (wanting to see the folder, not its contents) you would have to split the last component though or add the parent switch. (untested)

of course alternatively you could also temporarily turn hidden items on in your script too: setting "ShowHiddenItems", 1;

There should be an option in Config because Favourite Folder cannot accept scripting flags

What do you mean ? It is possible to run scripts from favorite folders, and there is a config option, you listed it in your first post.

Do you want me to move this to wishes then, and see what Don thinks about the subject?.

edit: Also I just had time to run a quick test, and hidden folders don't produce an error for me anyway.

No error for me neither.

With Mini Tree it works 100%.
With Maxi Tree you get the hidden folder listed in the File List, but not selected in the Tree (since it is hidden from the tree).
