Don't see all content of my folder

Tags:

In my atom when I add a project, it does not display all content (I mean files and folders)) into it. F.x. on screen below http folder is full of files/folders.

What could be a reason of that?

I've Mac + Atom 1.0.15 (but it started from very long time ago).

I've had the same issue recently. With one of the new versions of Atom, a setting was enabled that I had never changed, causing some files to not show up any more.

The setting is Hide VCS Ignored Files, which can be found in the Packages / Tree View settings:

Tree View Settings

Make sure this setting is disabled (i.e. unchecked). When it is checked, it will not show files that are ignored by Git. I noticed a .gitignore file in your first screenshot - that could be causing it.

The setting one above this (Hide Ignored Names) could also be relevant, but I'm not entirely sure what it does.

Anyway, the Hide VCS Ignored Files was enabled in one of my workspaces for some reason, and it caused a similar issue as you described. It's probably worth a try...
