feat!: remove special case for _ prefixed files in windows#1233
Conversation
On windows files prefixed with a `_` were being ignored because some old applications used those files as pseudo dotfiles. This was controversial when the feature was added way back when: ogham/exa#820 (review) Fixes eza-community#1220

This will need some discussion before being implemented

Yeah. I completely agree with you there. |

I personally vote that this behaviour be removed completely as per this PR. The current behaviour is very unexpected and unusual, so much so that it feels like a bug. 😊 |

Any more thoughts from maintainers about getting this merged? Would love to see this annoyance dealt with. |

I think the easiest way to move forward with this would be to allow the old behavior via a flag, I do think we could probably just get rid of this as a default, but it was probably added because someone found it valuable.
