Komodo 5 on OS X 10.5 doesn't show hidden files (e.g. .bashrc)

Hi,
I want to open and/or add hidden files (specifically .pythonrc) to a Komodo project. The open file/add file dialogs don't show dot files and I couldn't find in the preferences an option to turn it on. BTW, I set up the Finder to show all files.

I set up the finder to show all files as well, but even
Firefox won't display dot files -- it's a Mozilla bug
(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=262374)
that we have a dependency on.

You can use the open file toolbar to get around the
openFile limitation. But as for the other operations,
like saveAs, and addToProject, you'll need to write
short macros. Good fodder for the Macros/Extensions
site, if anyone's up to it.

Thanks, Eric. The open/find toolbar is cool.
