How to show hidden files/dirs that start with a dot in the File->Open dialog?
已回答
I would like to edit my .github/workflow files in my project.
The .github/ directory is not shown (it's not excluded anywhere).
When I try to find a file with File→Open, files and dirs starting with a dot are not shown in the dialog. I've found no options in settings to show hidden files.
My system (macos) finder is configured to show hidden files. I also cannot go to the finder and drag/drop the files into intellij. This is frustrating.

I have same issue but in Windows WSL - i can't access dot files (eg .gitignore) in various “Select Path” dialog(Tested: Compare with…, Open… ). Docs(https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/2024.3/select-path-dialog.html) suggest that there should be button to show hidden files but it's gone (atleast for PHPStorm 2024.3).
Checking the Open file dialog, I could find the (eye)icon for "Show Hidden files in Directories". Could you share the specific dialog you are referring to with a screenshot?
Also, please upload the logs (`Help | Collect Logs and Diagnostic Data...`) in https://uploads.jetbrains.com/ and share the ID with us to check further.

edit: If you manually write path to hidden file in file browser's adress input, then file browser show all hidden files:
No, it not helps because it change file chooser dialog to windows native and i want to avoid it as much as possible.
Hi,
This is a bug that the file chooser does not have a "show hidden files" menu after using the "Compare with" action.
I have created a bug report here: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IJPL-173447
Feel free to watch it.
If you don't like the native file dialog, as a workaround you could switch to the new file chooser by adding ide.ui.new.file.chooser=true in IDE main menu `Help | Edit Custom Properties`, restart the IDE. After it, using the `...` menu can show hidden files.
