The problem
A configuration file starting with a dot may be hidden rather than missing. Reveal it only when your task requires it.
A practical answer
GJ File Manager's hidden-file toggle applies to the current folder, making temporary inspection straightforward.
Step by step
- Open the specific authorized project directory.
- Enable the hidden-file toggle in the browsing area.
- Check the dotfiles and preview only the file you need.
- Turn the toggle off when you finish.
Know the limits
Visibility is not permission to delete. An unfamiliar hidden file can be important to an application or the operating system.
Common question
Why do sizes appear too?
In the current icon view, enabling hidden files also displays file and folder size subtitles as part of the view's behavior.
