Hello,

is there a way to create a hidden folder? I can see only DirectoryCreate().

Thanks,
Luigi

I found this:

SetFileAttributes(folder_name, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN);

On Windows 10 it works. I hope it works even for linux and MacOs.

This is WinAPI, it won't work in Linux.
Just add a dot at the beginning of the filename to hide it in Linux.
