How do I toggle show/hide of hidden file in NetBeans 7.4?

hidden-files, installation, netbeans

Solution

Go to Preferences (macosx) > Miscellaneous > Files

In the textarea Ignored Files Patterns enter

^(CVS|SCCS|vssver.?\.scc|#.*#|%.*%|_svn)$|~$

By removing the the `|^\.(?!(htaccess|gitignore)$).*$` from the default value you tell Netbeans not to remove any hidden files

Problem

Well, that is basically it: How do I toggle show/hide of hidden file in NetBeans 7.4? Every time I try to open a file in NetBeans 7.4 it shows all my hidden file and that is very annoying. I Googled it but could not find an answer until now. Thanks for you help.
