| Summary |
 06785: Any driver that allows one to browse the host file system: Can't change into directories that have a "." prefix in their name |
||||
| Description | While browsing my host file system in MAME (MESS)'s UI to mount a floppy disk image, I found out I can't change into a folder with a "." prefix (i.e. .mame). I've attached some screen shots that show the issue. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce |
Here's an example using the coco3 driver: mame coco3 Enable UI (scroll-lock key on my PC). Hit TAB Select File Manager Select Floppy Disk 1 Use navigation menu and select a folder that begins with a single "." You will see an "error accessing" message |

I cannot test with Windows due to it not allowing creation of folders with a preceding period. |

It seems to affect any path with "/." in it. I can access a directory beginning with "." in the working directory, but not anywhere else. |

You can create folders in Windows with a leading period at the command prompt. >md .k |
