Thanks 
I did think about that, but the fear of ruining things keeps me from trying that :P

They are "hidden" because some applications use them and assume that they'll be there named as is.
I have trouble thinking that Opera won't find them if you enter the exact name.

Anyway, don't rename them because many programs are hardcoded to expect those names. Since Opera allows you to browse /home/user, you can try placing a symlink from /home/user/MyDocs/.whatever into /home/user/whatever.

Can you symlink to them? ln -s .sounds Sounds

I'll try symlinking then
Never heard of it, though.. so first I'll figure out how that works exactly
Thanks jflatt, for that example

Thanks a lot!
It makes me think of shortcuts on a Windows desktop.
I'll give it a spin

/home/user/MyDocs/.sounds (Audio clips)
/home/user/MyDocs/.documents (Documents)
/home/user/MyDocs/.images (Images)
/home/user/MyDocs/.videos (Video clips)
For instance, I can't access these folders in Opera when I want to upload files within there.
