If a different Java Virtual Machine is used, then a warning is displayed. This option allows the user to choose whether the warning dialog is shown or not:
• Show hidden files and directories - shows system hidden files and folders in the file browser dialog and the folder browser dialog. This setting is not available on Mac OS X.
