Hidden files (dot files) and directories are not shown in browse popup for bookmark images

Problem description: -------------------- In the bookmark edit dialog, you can select a bookmark image by clicking the 'browse' button. Unfortunately I see no possibility neither to select images beginning with a dot nor to change to a directory beginning with a dot (like '.galeon'). Even if I'm in the parent directory of the dot-directory I want the cd to and I enter the dot-directory's name, Galeon tries to fetch that dot-directory as image instead of cd to it. This is also documented on the console where I started Galeon: ** WARNING **: `/home/abe/.galeon' does not exist or is not a valid image file My suggestions for solving these problems: ------------------------------------------ IMHO the browse popup should either show all files/directories, including those beginning with a dot or having a switch to toggle the display of dot files immediately. IMHO entering a directory's name in the 'Selection' field should cd to that directory instead of selecting it, if and only the selection is expected not to be a directory.
For hidden files and directories you have to use the location line and manually select the filename or change to the given hidden directory.
