When we create a "Live folder" entry, we can set (or not...) two check boxes in order to display (or not...) subfolders (and/or files)
- that are "hidden"
- and that have "system" attribute.
As far as I can see with my tests, when creating the new "Live Folder" entry, these two check-boxes are pre-set according to current Windows parameters for the user :
- display (or not) hidden files and folders (HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\Hidden)
- display (or not) system files and folders. (HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\ShowSuperHidden)
"current" parameters meaning
as they are defined at the time the new "Live folder" entry is created.
This is good (or at least not so bad)... but it would be
A LOT better if we were able to ask to have "Live folder" populated with their content, including (or not) "hidden" content, including (or not) "system" content based on windows parameterization
dynamically evaluated at every "Live folder" refresh time (and not "statically" as it used to be at "Live folder" entry definition time).
Of course, to have "butter and money of butter" (as we say in french, is-it clear also in english ?) is a "plus", and to be sure to not disturb some users, the best is to be able to choose
- always hidden / never hidden / dynamically evaluated hidden
- always system / never system / dynamically evaluated system
Thanks in advance, dear Jean, if you choose to implement this evolution !

Nota : Actually, I'm not so sure that initialization of the checkboxes (in current version of QAP) is correctly done for "Hidden" (that seems to be always initialized "checked") but it's clearly the case for "System" for which box presetting is always inline with current Windows parameterization, but this is another topic... and even if there is there a slight bug (not really annoying since it is "only" pre-setting), I'd prefer to have my suggestion implemented rather than to have the bug fixed....
