Hi all!

Well, this idea is simple: Plasma allows you to have a desktop slideshow of pictures inside a folder, plus the option to include sub-folders.
The problem is that plasma also uses the pictures inside hidden folders (as ~/.kde4/shar/icons/), which we don't need.
So there should be two options for the slideshow:

• Include sub-folders
• Include hidden folders/files

This is it
See ya!

Rather than adding options (generally a bad move) is there ever a use case for including hidden folders? I can't think of one. Hidden means "don't show anything about this folder.".

Very simple fix.

in BackgroundFinder::run()

QDir dir;
dir.setFilter(QDir::AllDirs | QDir::Files | QDir::Hidden | QDir::Readable);

Remove QDir::Hidden.

This is more of a bugfix or feature request than a brainstorming idea. I think this will be done a lot faster if you contact the developers or just file a bug.
(This is not to get you out of KDE Brainstorm, but rather to help you get it done faster.)

It would be nice if the option
Include hidden folders/files
only appears when
Include sub-folders
is activated...
