I use .htaccess to control site and page accesses but it doesn’t display in PG because of its very nature. Is there any way to display hidden files in PG?

(Adobe’s Dreamweaver will display such files and allow opening/editing them).

In Pinegrow, click the Support tab, then Settings, and add any kind of file you want to the “File types edited in Pinegrow” section. Save, and restart Pinegrow.

I added _ **.htaccess** _ to the ‘File Types…’ section in Settings but it still won’t display in the Project Panel. I also tried ‘NOEXT’ but no luck… any ideas?
