Files prefixed with _ in DT are exported with no _ to the filesystem

I prefix TeX files with should be included with a _ at the beginning. When I export those files from DT into the filesystem, the _ is gone.

Is there anything I can do about that? Changing the following option doesn’t do the trick.

This can’t be customized currently. Alternatively you could use a dash instead or export the files using a script.

@cgrunenberg Would you mind asking development to fix this?

Well, that would be kind of schizophrenic :wink: but so far this is intentional to improve the compatibility to other platforms and filesystems.

Maybe another configuration option? At least on MacOS .file or _file should be. no problem. So, it would be up to the user to decide.

A leading dot hides files in macOS by default. Same with Linux, but a leading underscore is no problem there. I don’t know about Windows.

The next release will support this.

Great! Thanks.
