What variant of Codex are you using?

Codex Desktop App

What feature would you like to see?

Now that the file tree/sidebar has returned, it would be very useful to have an option to show hidden folders (dot folders) such as:

.git
.claude
.codex
.agents

When I need to use codex to help me modify the skills file under .codex/skills, it is very necessary to be able to see the hidden directory in the file tree.
