   From what I read, Syncdocs is not supposed to sync hidden files or folders. For some reason I find that Syncdocs IS syncing hidden files and folders in my installation. I use a document management program called ScanSnap Organizer and it creates hidden folders called .organizer that contain .ini and .jpg thumbnail files. All of the files created by Organizer being with ! (e.g., !sampledocument.jpg and !sampledocument.ini) These files are not visible in Windows explorer, but they are still being uploaded to my Google Docs account. I am using the latest version of Syncdocs. Is this a bug or do I just have some setting that's off. Thank you for your help.

   The hidden folder problem is a bug we introduced (in error) three weeks ago, but will be fixed in the next release.

   Hidden files should not be synced. You can check the value of "<ShowHiddenFiles>" is false in the config file:
   "c:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Syncdocs\username@gmail.com\appsettings.xml"

   I checked the value in appsettings.xml and it says:

   <ShowHiddenFiles>false</ShowHiddenFiles>

   Should I change anything on this line? Thank you.

   no - false means don't show hidden files.

   Please try the new beta version

   The bug is gone. However, if you have a local file that is hidden, and a counterpart on Google that is not hidden, and ShowHiddenFiles is false, the Google file will get downloaded.

   Can I make syncdocs on linux sync the hidden files?

   I need the hidden files syncronised.

   OK - we'll see why that doesn't work on Linux, and hopefully fix it.
