The current isofs treatment of hidden files is flawed in two ways. First, it does not provide sufficient granularity; it hides both 'hidden' files and 'associated' files (resource fork for Mac files). Second, the default behavior to completely strip hidden files, while an admirable implementation of the spec, is a poor choice given the real world use of hidden files as a poor mans copy protection scheme for MSDOS and Windows based systems. A longer description of this is available here: http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0205.3/0267.html This patch was originally built after a few private conversations with Alan Cox; I shamefully failed to persist in seeing it go forward, I hope to make amends now. This patch introduces granularity by allowing explicit control for both hidden and associated files. It also reverses the default so that by default, hidden files are treated as regular files on the iso9660 file system. This allow Wine to process Windows CDs, including those that are hybrid Mac/Windows CDs properly and completely, without our having to go muck up peoples fstabs as we do now. (I have tested this with such a hybrid + hidden CD and have verified that this patch works as claimed).
