Hidden Images Don't Show Like Other Hidden Files As Thumbs

When viewing files in the thumbnail view, hidden items show as "greyed out". Images do in details view but do not in thumbnail view (again here is something that explorer does).

Is there some way to toggle this? Will it be implemented in a future version?

Thanks (and sorry for so many posts - I think people are tiring of me).

I had to read this a number of times before I understood what you meant...I ended up going to Win Expl, setting up a folder with a few JPG's, made a couple hidden, and then saw how WE showed it in various modes...and now see what you meant, I believe, which is: in thumbnails mode, the hidden JPG's are kinda 'fuzzed out'...I use details mode maybe 98% of time so had never noticed this.

I'm not aware that XY has this feature but can now see that it might be a valid "Wish" item...as there is agreeably no easy way to spot the hidden files when in thumb view mode.

IMHO, No, you don't need to aplogize for postings! Maybe others have different opinion...I don't get tired of numerous posts, unless they are really hard to follow...
