Show hidden files button does not show hidden files

Made a new folder called .dotfolder using the copyparty make a directory button, it made it fine and moved me into it.
I also made a .dotmd.md file.

Going back a page and refreshing hides it, as expected. But toggling the dotfiles setting on/off doesn't reveal any of the hidden files/folders.

The button does say "show hidden files (if server permits)" and I guess server does not permit - but I couldn't really find anything abt that in the readme. Do you happen to know what I need to change to allow it to show hidden files? Is there a volflag or something?

The permissions look like this, everyone should have at least read permissions.

ah yeah, that is the -ed global setting (enable dotfiles) -- and looks like that is only documented in --help so that's a bit unfortunate...

currently it's not available as a volflag, which would have made sense in retrospect, so I'll add that at some point 👍

keep in mind that -ed makes it possible for everyone to see dotfiles, assuming they have read-access to the folder! not sure if it would make sense to make that more granular, I kinda think we have enough permission types already heh

EDIT: hmm, maybe there could be a volflag where you can specify a list of usernames which are allowed to see dotfiles

Very cool, appreciated 🙏

If it's not to much work - I'd love to have that!
