How to hide files with certain extensions?

rated 0 times [ -1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 2237 / 2 Years ago, sat, september 10, 2022, 9:33:10

I have plenty of files in a folder with extension of .dep, I want to hide these files. But I don't want to change their names such as adding a dot ahead of them.
What would be the best way to do this?

Thanks!

You can create a file in that folder called ".hidden" and put any filenames you want to hide in there. I don't believe it supports wildcards, but you can use a script to add the filenames every so often:
