allow selection of which hidden files to make visible
It would be great if it was possible to make only certain types of hidden file visible to pathfinder, I do web development and would like to only enable visibility of '.htaccess' files for example, I don't want to display all hidden system folders and files, but would usually like to enable '.DS_Store' and '._' resource forks on external volumes as well as '.htaccess'

Hiding .DS_Store while showing invisibles would be fantastic! If you go the regex route, I would suggest making it work so the regex patterns filter files out rather than selecting them to appear (that is, it should work like .gitignore), and at least make .DS_Store a prepopulated pattern so users don't have to craft regular expressions to benefit from this.

I agree that Regex functionality would be a major improvement to my everyday workflow; I'd really love to see this implemented in PF6!

Enabling this feature via regular expressions would be very powerful. -

This would be great. I hadn't thought of being selective, just wanting to exclude .DS_Store files, but this is even better!
