  1. Invisible files from 3rd party software not hidden


    Hi All - I'm using some 3rd party software that creates a number of files/folders into my destination directory. But the files/folders are invisible for all applications except the 3rd party software. I've checked that "hidden files" are visible view options in explorer - show hidden files/folders. I've checked from the command shell also using "dir \ah" to view hidden files. I've used other 3rd party explorer programs FreeCommander XE to view the files in the directory but every single thing I try shows the folder which is currently c:\temp is completely empty. When I use the software Colmap and go to import a file, the windows open dialog comes up and the same directory is populated with various files and folders - which i'm trying to see with another bit of software MeshLab.

    What I also have tried is right clicking on the file through colmap open dialog and open with Notepad++ and then save it somewhere else. It's still not there in windows explorer!!!! And I can't open it from Notepad++ if I didn't open it through the dialog, and I can't cut an paste from one to the other.

    Regardless of these bits of software, I do not understand why the files, which exist and are non-zero in file size, cannot be viewed by windows or anything else for that matter.

    Arrrggghhh!!!!!

    :)
