When folder is hidden <pick> doesn't work correctly

I have noticed that <pick> doesn't work correctly if the current pane is listing a folder which is hidden (from view/tree listing), repro for fresh:
settingp "ShowHiddenItems", 0; goto "%APPDATA%"; text <pick>;
It instead seems to return the contents of other folders, such as the first folder in the hierarchy which isn't hidden, or after a tab switch, the previous tabs location under other circumstances. If you supply the folder param explicitly, it works correctly though.

Sure? It works fine here. Note that <pick> only returns files. Use <pickall> to return also folders.

Yes I am absolutely certain that in fresh (and my normal and testing config) that repro shows the issue as I intended, I originally spent a while narrowing down why I was getting bogus returns before reporting, what I am uncertain of though is if the appdata folder is in a hidden hierarchy on Win8, so instead try this (in fresh):
Code: Select all
$fol = "C:\hidden_fol_<date yyyymmdd>";
new("$fol\filename.txt", "file");
attrstamp("h", , $fol);
settingp "ShowHiddenItems", 0;
goto $fol;
text <pick>;
I can't think of anything else that would be unique to my system, and multiple XY configs that I have tested in that would affect this.

Works (it shows a totally unrelated file
)

I could now reproduce it with Maxi Tree enabled. Then the goto command in
goto $fol; would simply not go to that folder because it does not exist in the tree. Instead, <pick> would pick stuff from wherever you are now.
How to fix it? Probably SC goto should ignore the Show Hidden setting and just go. I just have to see how big a can of worms this opens up.
... UPDATE: It's okay. Should be fixed in next beta.

Ah, you had MiniTree enabled, I didn't anticipate that, and I didn't sense the issue as being with goto because the pane seemed to have navigated to the folder ok, also I'd mentioned ages ago about
hidden folders and goto and that had subsequently been working. Anyway with limited testing so far, all seems resolved in .0001, thanks.
