Description

Hidden files should imo not be shown in recommendations. Especially if the user chooses not to show hidden files.

Example: I use the regular contacts backup. This creates a file in a regular period. On default the folder is hidden. But the very boring contact backup files do show up always in my recommendations.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with a hidden contacts-backup file and the user's setting for showing hidden files disabled. Trace how files enter recommendations and verify that hidden files are excluded in this case; done means the example file no longer appears while eligible non-hidden files still do.
