Error description

  • IBM Developer for System z (IDz) : IDz 14.2 - z/OS EXPLORER 3.1
    
    When using IDz with OS Linux Debian Buster hidden Linux files
    are shown in RemoteSystems view regardless what is setup in
    Preferences 'Remote Systems => Files => Show hidden files'.
    Hidden files in Linux are prefixed with a leading dot.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • For local files, the Remote Systems view isn't using the dot
    prefix to determine if a file is hidden or not.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The Remote Systems behaviour is actually technically correct,
    honouring the local file system hidden attribute, but it is
    inconsisten with files on remote systems which determine hidden
    files based on a dot prefix.  The fix will honour both the
    hidden atttribute as well as the dot prefix.
