Re: ls.exe shows windows system hidden files

Andrew,

Cygwin uses stock "ls" source code. Cygwin's "ps" is entirely it's own--it's all "distinctly Cygwin."
Makes sense.

Still I would like ls to do it (in my case by default). You see I'm one of those, I guess, few Windows users who actually uses hidden files and likes to have them hidden in the Explorer and, correspondingly in ls. So I just live with this "defect".

Hacking up a wrapper around ls to use attribe would be a little work, if one wanted to insure other ls semantics including color and the like (IOW do it right). Maybe someday I'll do this...
