Hide the .tonfotos.ini file

sephirothvr

This is a feature request. I have thousands of pictures, categorised into folder and whenever tonfotos does the indexing, it will create this .tonfotos.ini to store the folder’s face or whatever meta info there. Can developer please hide the file? Temporary for now i had to run **"attrib +h *.tonfotos*.* /s"** everytime it is creating new or update it.

sephirothvr thank you for suggestion, this is pretty simple change, I will add it to backlog.

Just to add in more info, to hide the following file(s):

people.bck
people.tnfp
.tonfotos.ini

Andrey

sephirothvr on that part I can’t agree. Unlike .ini which is mostly technical file, tnfp is actually a database with information about people. I don’t see why that one should be hidden.

Well, it’s just a feature request and up to dev to fulfill it or not. I see no reason why people database file and backup file and tonfotos.ini file needed to be access by laymen people other than to move from one location to another without having to re-scan people again, but then again that file will be copied over as well if user copied the whole folder.

For me personally, i had to keep executing this “attrib +h” or hide these file so that the folder does not auto generate ugly empty icon folder as per screenshot below.
