Brasero does not allow adding of hidden files (8.10)

[Steve Thomas]

Binary package hint: brasero

Opening Brasero to create a new data DVD for backup, I can select and add visible folders and files to the project, but there seems to be no way to show and add hidden files. [Specifically, I want to backup .mozilla-thunderbird/]

Also, selecting "Search files using keyword" leaves all the options grayed out, so I can't use this either.

I'm using a Dell XPS M1330, and this worked OK in Hardy (8.04).

thx

Addendum: I *can* add hidden folders by going to the File Browser and dragging and dropping into Brasero.

not a bug, you could right click on the list of files, select show hidden files and the files will be there.

There is high priority bug

If I add entire directory to project then hidden files (in this directory) are not added. I can loose important file this way!
Yes I can add it manually but it's not a point.
