Hidden files shouldn't be listed by the ls command! This at best is a matter of opinion. My prediction is that those whose opinion counts most (that is, the people who do the work of maintaining the Cygwin code) do not share this opinion. >Can this be changed? It can. You're welcome to use the available source code to produce a version of "ls" that accommodates your preferences. You could even, if you so chose, submit your changes with a request that they be incorporated into the Cygwin source code base itself.
