Hidden files and folders no longer working
Since the latest update (2021.12.07), Filerun does not seem to be using the 'hidden_file_names' and 'hidden_foler_names' in the config.php located in Customizables.
This line use to hide ini files and now they are being displayed in Filerun listings...
$config['app']['hidden_file_names'][] = "*.ini";
This line use to hide the Recycle bin now it is displayed in Filerun listings...
$config['app']['hidden_folder_names'][] = "$*";
Answer

The change is documented in the update description and the changelog.
Please use:
$config['app']['hidden_file_names'][] = "*.ini"; $config['app']['hidden_file_names'][] = "\$*";
The changes are:
- Hidden files and folders will still be visible and accessible via the API, WebDAV and apps.
- Hidden files and folders can be created and uploaded by users, even if they don't show in the list.
- Downloading a folder containing hidden files and folders, will not include these files.
- $config['app']['hidden_folder_names'] has been deprecated.
- $config['app']['hidden_file_names'] applies to both file and folder names and it only hides items in the web interface.
- Dot files and folders (.*) can be now made visible, using the new option available under the control panel "Interface" section. They are hidden by default.
- If you want to completely exclude certain file and folder names, you can use $config['app']['excluded_filenames']. Excluded files and folders will not be visible, accessible or manageable by any means.

Ok, but unfortunately that has not fixed the problem.
I have this line and yet the web interface shows all .ini files
$config['app']['hidden_file_names'][] = "*.ini";
I have this line and yet the web interface shows all .exe files
$config['app']['hidden_file_names'][] = "*.exe";
I also have this line yet the web interface shows folders like $RECYCLE.BIN
$config['app']['hidden_file_names'][] = "\$*"
I know the config.php file is being read because I also have
$config['path']['trash'] = 'D:/FileRunTemp/trash/';
and the trash files are being placed in the correct folder.

Please try to replace the file "system/classes/vendor/FileRun/Files/Utils.php" in your FileRun installation with this version.

A FileRun update is now available for installation. It should fix this problem.
