Hello there!

I'm working on an app right now where I would like the user to be able to select files from a hidden folder, yet when I try to open the file dialog, I'm getting redirected back to /home/user. Took me a while to realise that it was actually the hidden folder that spawned this behaviour.

Searching the web I found hints on the original Qt library featuring a flag to be set on QFileDialog in order to activate hidden files - but I couldn't find anything like that for PyQt.

Does anybody know of a way to convince Python to show hidden files in file dialogs, or will I have to do it the hard way (writing my own popup with a list of all the files in that directory)?

Thanks in advance!
