[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 996854"] Periods in the filename (at the beginning, anyway) make the file invisible. It's a UNIX thing. Periods elsewhere in the filename usually mark the end of the name and the beginning of the extension. So this does not sound like a wise plan to me. But to answer your question, yes it is possible to do this quite easily ... using the terminal. [/QUOTE]
