No problem, I'll look forward to that in the future! Thanks for the other features!

Sorry, no new UI features will be added to 6.6/6.7.

Would it still be possible to include this in the new version that is currently in testing?

Currently, clicking “1 hidden” shows the hidden file, but there is no way to hide it again from there. Could the same indicator also work in reverse?

For example, “1 hidden” could change to something like “Showing 1 hidden” after clicking it, and clicking it again would hide the file(s) again. The number could of course be dynamic depending on how many hidden files there are.

This would make the existing indicator work as a simple show/hide toggle, without having to go back to the preferences.

Sorry, no one else has asked for this yet :)

Re: Suggestion to make toggling hidden files easier

There's no easier way.
I'll consider it. Thanks.

Suggestion to make toggling hidden files easier

Currently, to show hidden files in WinSCP I can:

Click the option at the bottom where it says “Show hidden files”, or
Use the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+H, which opens the preferences.

My question is: is there a more convenient way to hide the files again after showing them, without having to go back to the options or repeat the process manually (Ctrl+Alt+H)?

My suggestion would be to add, in the same place where it currently shows “Show hidden files”, a toggle that could also be used to hide them again. This would make the process much quicker and more intuitive.
Does such a feature already exist and I missed it, or could it be considered for a future version?

Best, Maison
