.quartoignore not visible in RStudio files panel

[andrewheiss]

I'm not sure if this is an RStudio issue or a Quarto issue. RStudio's Files panel generally hides files and directories that start with ., following Unix conventions. However, it does show hidden files that are related to R projects, like .gitignore, .gitattributes, .Rhistory, and so on. .quartoignore files don't show up in the list, though (RStudio on the left; Visual Studio Code on the right):

It's possible to change the settings of the Files panel to show all hidden files:

…but it might be nice to somehow treat .quartoignore files like other special R-specific hidden files like .Rprofile or gitignore

This is definitely an RStudio issue, since Quarto has nothing to do with the file manager of RStudio.
In my opinion, the file manager should not have some "R-specific behaviour" (if it is really a thing), because a project might have some other tools, etc.

This is indeed a RStudio IDE feature request. I added an issue there to track the idea: rstudio/rstudio#11881

Awesome, thanks!

This should be now supported in RStudio IDE from 2022.11.0-daily+187 (see the resolved issue there for details).

This will be present in a next major release of the IDE I believe. Thanks @andrewheiss for the report and idea!

Closing this as resolved rstudio/rstudio#11881.
