I'm unsure if this is intended behavior, but files and folders of the form ~/.texpander/.* are still indexed by the script.

I have a ~/.texpander/.config/ folder, where I have a json file and a bash script that reads from the json file and writes to the ~/.texpander/ directory. They're all currently being indexed, dispite the fact that .config should be hidden.

I would think intended behavior would be that those files aren't available in the zenity window. I never used textexpander though, so I don't know how that handles it either.
