dot file extension

Post by omega »

Lately there has been lots of discussions about the FLAME spyware. It uses a dot file extension which isn't visible in Windows Explorer. Does it mean that AS also won't be able to reveal this file?

Salamander 2.54 and previous versions ignore name "." (dot) as "current directory" and it does not check if it is really directory. I have added this test to prepared version 3.0, so if "." is file, it will be displayed in panel as any other file.
