New trick to make ignore work again?

[GregMo 24]

So it would seem there's been another update that breaks .ignore files?  Under folder view I am now seeing folders that have .ignore files in them.  What new hoop do we have to jump through to make these hidden again?

Have you seen the updated KB, plus there are existing ignore topics.

I did search the forum for ".ignore" but the search results didn't return anything that was related to this issue.  This is the second time now that I will have to go through my entire library fixing it again due to a stupid change like this that backwards compatibility was not preserved.  Sure would be nice if there was a warning to let you know what each new version breaks before it installs it automatically.  Several times now there's been an update, as an example, that for no good reason at all, changed the ID number of playlists which breaks the scripts that I use daily.  The first time that happened, I spent hours trying to figure out what was broken.

Change mentioned here

But yes announcements need to be before Release as a lot of the issue would be covered beforehand.
