Comment 20 for bug 145152

I also installed your package. Thanks for providing it.

1)
When I do "xscreensaver-getimage-file --verbose ~/Bilder" (my pictures folder), I get only the one unhidden file. So, no problem here.
I guess Christoph just used the wrong cmdline for getimage? Or is "~" as directory correct, and it should still use only the pictures folder?

2)
Testing the screensaver for picture slideshow, it shows both hidden and unhidden files

For the tests, I prepared my pictures folder with two pics, like this:
~/Bilder
~/Bilder/sandwich.png
~/Bilder/.hidden
~/Bilder/.hidden/christmas_sucks.jpg

The .hidden and christmas_sucks.jpg are not in the getimage listing, but appear in the screensaver.

Hope that helps somehow. Ask for more debugging.
