Hi, today I've noticed whilst synchronizing through the desktop client that some python venvs were on my cloud so I tried to find and delete them from the web ui to remove them before the sync would end.
I usually start my envs with venv or .venv so I searched for the first term which didn't returned the latter, I thought of the hidden files and started typing .venv but even then no result were returned.
I then found that you had to toggle an option to show hidden files that solved my issue.

Describe the solution you'd like

I think that the client should display hidden files when the query starts with a dot. Such a query could also be to search for a file extension but I don't think this would deteriorate this use case whilst simplifying the hidden files use case.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The client could also display a tip to activate hidden files if only hidden results are found for a request.

Additional context

As I was sure that the folders were present, I quickly realized that something was wrong but I think that if you are unsure, this could lead to think that the file is absent.

When hidden files are shown :

When they aren't (makes you think that there is no match at all) :

Ps: AS this is a small issue I thought that it was more a feature request than a bug but I may be wrong. And thanks for this project, it is really helping !

No source file or test is named in the issue. Start by tracing the web UI's file search and its hidden-file visibility behavior, then check how queries beginning with a dot are handled. Done means a dot-prefixed search can find hidden files without requiring the visibility toggle, with coverage for the behavior.
