Unable to get xfburn to let me select hidden folders / files.

I've been using Xfce 4.4.2 on Debian 5.01 for 2 days. Just got around to trying to burn some data to DVD-R. I'm using xfburn 0.3.2 in an attempt to burn portions of my home directory to disc. Although there is a setting in the preferences dialog for showing hidden files, xfburn doesn't honor it.

Would someone here have an idea as to how I might get this to work?

Thanks,
Sam

Well, for now I just set Thunar to show hidden folders & files, create an archive of the entire set of folders & files that have to be backed up, and then burn the archive to disc.

But if anyone knows a way to make Xfburn cooperate on this matter, I'd appreciate hearing about it.

Thanks.

You know, I really should pull my head out and look for committed bugs before asking questions, shouldn't I?

Thanks for the link, Wapush. Much appreciated. Now I have to make up my tiny mind as to whether to wait for the official fix (I'm trying to be a "stable" guy these days.) or apply the fix or patch. It's nice to have options.
