Hidden folder support on Linux

[Era-Dorta]

On ubuntu the default folder for steam games is ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common
The dialogue for selecting the location of KSP does not show any hidden folders, at least having the option to input the folder path manually would fix it. As a workaround I had to create a link.

Via terminal it can be done with ln -s ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Kerbal\ Space\ Program/ ~/KSP that would create a link in your home folder called KSP to the steam kerbal space program folder.

I considered trying to write a pull request to solve this, but according to this thread it might not be possible to solve

Looking at the FolderBrowserDialog class reference, I was unable to see any option to show hidden folders.

Maybe a way to manually enter a path would be a solution to the problem.

Thanks for the report and additional infos.
I'll try to find a way to show hidden folder and add the info about the link to the 'how to'

As a bit of extra information, the people at CKAN don't show it either, but they check for several Steam paths

and the same for KSP path
