Windows Hidden Files Visible Under 5.0 - Weren't under 4.7


Recommended Posts

After upgrading to v5 I noticed that shares don't respect files set to hidden under windows.

 

This worked fine under 4.7 but as soon as I upgraded everything became visible. Existing hidden files are now visible, setting a file to hidden on the share has no effect and hidden files copied to a share become visible again.

 

Does anyone know what happened or if I can re-enable this functionality? I use it to hide folder icons, album art and sync data for my backup tools. It would be great to get rid of the visual clutter again.
