AS scripts - AS sees invisible files. it shouldn't right?

Post by heyvern »

Files in the AS scripts folder that are invisible are still read by AS as if they are there.

I think if a file is invisible it shouldn't be seen by AS as actual tool or script file.

This recently caused a bit of a nightmare for me when I was editing files over a network and my mac created some invisible files with the .lua extension.

AS read these files but choked on them because they weren't actual .lua files but resource forks from the mac side.

In linux version, AS can see hidden files because he have created it!!
For instance,
In my personal home directory (/home/carlos)
there is a hidden file called
.Anime Studio Pro.user.settings
(begining with dot)
and this is its content:

That file would be in all the AS versions or have other way to store same values. That's the way AS can be run by different users and different preferences.

All programs create special preference files. You can even do that with tools and scripts in AS. I just would think that if a user created file is "hidden" in the OS by the user... it should be hidden from the application.

None of my other applications "see" those files when they are hidden.

I found a solution anyway. Check the "other software" topic.
