### 4/5 — Feature request

*2026-07-12*

Hello, can you add the ability to see hidden files? I also can't seem to find where I would be able to change the app's theme or font or anything. Those aren't as important as hidden files though. 

Thanks

**Developer response:** Hi there! Thanks for the feedback. Good news: the upcoming v1.0.1 release will include the ability to toggle hidden files. I'm also working on theme and font customization, which will follow in a later update. Stay tuned!
