Thunderbird cannot find hidden files
When I tried to import my OpenGPG keys from the "Select File to Import...", I found that it cannot display the hidden files or directories.
Did I miss a setting for this? What can I do to show the hidden files?

I presume you use Windows. I am not familiar with OpenGPG keys, but this may be what you're seeking. Open windows file explorer, click the View>show>hidden items on menu bar
Thank you, David.
1. I do not use "Losedows". I have Thunderbird on a GNU computer. 2. I can find hidden files from Thunar (file explorer) or CLI. 3. The problem for me is that when Thunderbird opens the file explorer there is no view option.
If I can cp or link the key files to a Thunderbird location, it is a solution. Do you know?
Sorry, I'm a Windows person.
Whenever I have worked with keys, they were not in hidden files. Must yours be hidden? Can you unhide them, at least temporarily, then import them into Thunderbird?
I have done that. The problem was that Thunderbird would not display the hidden folders.
So you were able to import your keys?
Why would you expect an application to show folders that, in the OS file system, you (or some other tool) have set to be hidden?

I think it's better to have the option.
