Hide Thumbs.db file

Hide Thumbs.db file

Hi,

I am using the GetFileListingWithLinks service on FileRepository Thing to show Files in FileRepository folder.

I see Thumbs.db sometimes in the Grid.

Is there a way to hide this file and not show at all in the Grid?

TIA

Saby

Sabarish, I believe GetFileListing would list files regardless of their condition - be it hidden or not. Thumbs.db is essentially a thumbnail database that Windows creates; it's a cache of sorts for Windows to quickly load thumbnail images. It is usually hidden, but the service through ThingWorx will list all files present in that folder. If you don't want the thumbs.db to get generated, you might need to edit the Group Policy section in Windows.

Another way would be to use a wrapped service to specifically exclude this file from being displayed.

Thanks Aanjan and Pai.

I think I will use a wrapped service to exclude this file.

Thanks
