For firefox, if a Save dialog, select "Browse for other folders", then |
| 9 |
right-click inside the file list on the right -- not the folder list on |
| 10 |
the left-- and select "Show hidden files". For the Open dialog, you |
| 11 |
don't have to browse, obviously. Setting will remain until you revoke |
| 12 |
it, though possibly not across browser sessions (not sure). |

There does not seem to be a global setting for OO.o. Of course, if you |
| 15 |
know the filename, you can just type it once in the correct folder; this |
| 16 |
also works for folders. In the case of a folder, this will take you to |
| 17 |
the folder, where you can then select the file. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
However, if you do this a lot, you might consider making a symlink from |
| 20 |
the hidden folder or file to a link of the same name, but without the |
| 21 |
preceding ".", that way the symlink won't be hidden. |

Yes, apparently Name and Modified are the only columns available. Things |
| 27 |
change. 1.5 is a long way from 1.0.7. Myself, I don't need the filesize |
| 28 |
in a web-browser save dialog (I find Modified date much more useful), |
| 29 |
but everybody's different. |

Hope this helps, |
