Problem adding files to archive

[sgspecker]

When I add a folder to Setup Factor 8 (with recursion), it adds most of the files to the archive ... but, it seems to miss (or ignore) recursing directories that start with a "." (period).

So, if I have a folder called ".settings", it seems to be skipped. I can add the files in it, but it would take me hours to do all of them.

I've tried searching the forums and faq's, but can't seem to find something that'll help me out. Is there a settings I'm missing somewhere?

This was a bug (as I recall) -- I get around it this way:
Use "junction.exe" from sysinternals -- create junctions to the . folder w/o the .
so create a junction of settings -> .settings

Now add the folder with recursion.
Now use "search & replace" to add the period back in. (or not, just remember to change the destination)
