Is there a "show all files" patch

[anachronicus]

If you want to make it REALLY permanent system-wide, you can show all files and snapshot, as described above, then take the .info file for the drawer you were just working in (e.g., get it from the parent directory) and copy it to envarc:sys/def_drawer.info. All new drawers will default to show all files.

That's a really cool idea!
