Finder dialog not showing hidden files and folders

[alpic]

I have not managed to get the Finder dialog to show hidden folders and files, which is a real pain.

In order to get it to work in other applications, I have applied this setting:
defaults write -g AppleShowAllFiles -bool true

which has worked, with TextWrangler for example. But not with BC.

Is there a different mechanism in BC?

Beyond Compare doesn't provide a way to show hidden files and folders in the Browse dialog. Hidden files and folders that begin with a dot in the filename will display automatically in the Folder Compare, you don't need to turn on a setting to make them display.

To set a hidden folder as a base folder, load a parent folder that isn't hidden using the Browse dialog, then right click on the hidden folder and select "Set as base folder".

In Beyond Compare 4.1.2 that we just released, hidden file and folder behavior will follow Finder's setting to show/hide hidden files.
