hm.. little filetree editing help

[Ego]

using the 'supported' display option, i want to filter out .rockbox and such, but not folders beginning with '...' (like my Awesome Machine album, '...It's Ugly or Nothing')

i know enough to see that the relevant part of the code is here, in filetree.c:

/* skip directories . and .. */
        if ((entry->attribute & ATTR_DIRECTORY) &&
            (((len == 1) && (!strncmp((char *)entry->d_name, ".", 1))) ||
             ((len == 2) && (!strncmp((char *)entry->d_name, "..", 2))))) {
            i--;
            continue;
        }

        /* Skip FAT volume ID */
        if (entry->attribute & ATTR_VOLUME_ID) {
            i--;
            continue;
        }

        /* filter out dotfiles and hidden files */
        if (*c->dirfilter != SHOW_ALL &&
            ((entry->d_name[0]=='.') ||
            (entry->attribute & ATTR_HIDDEN))) {
            i--;
            continue;

but i don't know what to add to make that happen (and really, i'm only like 80% that's the right place). any help from someone with more know-how?

That looks like the right place... I believe you want to take the code that says:

       if (*c->dirfilter != SHOW_ALL &&
            ((entry->d_name[0]=='.') ||
            (entry->attribute & ATTR_HIDDEN))) {
            i--;
            continue;

and change it to:

       if (*c->dirfilter != SHOW_ALL &&
            (((entry->d_name[0]=='.') && (entry->d_name[1]!='.')) ||
            (entry->attribute & ATTR_HIDDEN))) {
            i--;
            continue;

That should filter if the directory starts with ., but not if it starts with ..

d_name is the directory name, and that bit of code said if d_name[0] (the 1st character) was a ., then hide it. All I did is tell it to see if the second character was a . as well, and if it wasn't, then hide it, otherwise show it.

i don't really know how to submit a patch... i know just enough code to be able to guess at what it does, with help from the comments, but i've done the LCD color thing, this one, and changed the functions of the Navi with the Record button on the WPS. it's nothin too big, and they all have instructions for them here or there on the forum (and this one i can't really take credit for at all, my idea but i didn't write the code)
