'Show hidden files' option doesn't actually show hidden files

[bkensey]

The functionality isn't something we touched, so the optionsMenu code must not be triggering something properly.

It turns out that the preference application method checks the chRooted setting, and ignores the advanced options (Show hidden/symlinks/system). So we can either hide these menu options by default, or we can enable viewing hidden/system/symlinks whilst under "Safe mode".

Hmm. What if we split things up and allowed viewing hidden files under safe mode, and hid the other two when not in root mode? Viewing hidden files doesn't require root in any way, it just shows files and folders starting with a ".", so it doesn't make sense to require root. Do you think symlinks require root?

[BrandoCommando]

I think it's silly to include the option to show/hide symlinks. They should be treated as directories in either safe/advanced mode (unless they link to an unsafe place, I suppose). I use symlinks in linux, but have never felt the need in Android.

[bkensey]

That's what I figured. So maybe just keep the hidden file mode unless it has some obscure root tie-in.
