Description

I know this has been asked a few times already but I think its not that complicated.
It could be implemented by making a file, called .hidden for example, which lists every file or folder, which should be hidden in the current directory.
This is something another, unfortunately proprietary, filemanager used and I really loved this feature because I could hide all these folders in /storage/emulated/0/ I never use.
For example there is a folder called mtklog, which contain some system logs I guess, that gets recreated every time. Or random Apps creating their config folder directly in /storage/emulated/0 instead of /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/ where it should be.
