Expected Behavior

When an Electron based app presents a file open dialog, it should respect the desktop system-wide settings related to visibility of hidden files.

Actual Behavior

Try this on VS Code on GNOME:

• Enable "Show hidden files" in Nautilus.
• Open VS Code's file dialog (for example via Ctrl+O). The hidden files in nautilus will be hidden again

Additional Information

There is an open bug report for VS Code on this: microsoft/vscode#107246

This issue is present in both KDE and GNOME but it affects GNOME users in a worse way because of a design decision made by GNOME. See microsoft/vscode#151153 for more info on that.

Thanks for looking into this.
