Once a path has been hidden from the browser, it is unclear for the user how to get it back

There's a "Remove" button in Settings menu --> Options --> Data sources tab. what do you mean by "unclear"?

I also found the option. However, I think it is incoherent to be able to hide with a right click, and be required to go to Options to unhide.

• priority_id was changed from Normal to Low

Yeah sorry about that. Was a bit of a oversight on UX on my part. Will be fixed.

Fine to me. Perhaps worth asking UX team?
Thanks.

Is it expected to list all the folders that are hidden or just their main parent, according to the current position?
I mean, if I have ten folders hidden (3 in H:/ and 7 in G:/), will I have:

• the ten folders listed ?

• or taking your example, just G:/ and H:/ listed

  • and once I unhide G:/ and right-click on G:/, it lists G:/ hidden subfolders and just H:/? A kind of cascading process (with relative path)

I don't know if it's worth all this and if users will hide many folders but it can be unreadable to have all hidden files listed in the context menu.

That is a good point. I was just going to list all hidden paths even if they share the same parent.

Maybe just the first 10 and then have the options dialog open for the rest, as a Show More...

This I forgot - sorry I'm keeping on checking, and did not look at further comments.

I forgot about this one. Will get it sorted for 3.2.

I'm not able to clear or change the option browser - hiddenPaths manually. After opening the expanded options dialog the old value appears.

@NathanW2 Was something implemented ? This still seem to be valid but this ticket might be more of a feature request.

Don't recall ever finishing it sorry.
