Folders starting with non alphanumeric characters missing

[paulson7]

The folder for the band '... And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead' does not show up on the Android client software side when scrolling through the artist list. I'm assuming this is because the folder name starts with a peiod. I'm guessing that other symbols at the beginning of folder names cause similar behavior but I am not certain. This problem did not exist previously as the list used to display in the following order: symbols, 0-9, a-z. The current display order is a-z, 0-9 (folders with symbols at the beginning of the name do not seem to be showing up).

Thanks

The reason the "..." folders don't show up is because on certain operating systems Subsonic runs on, most notably Linux, the .folders are hidden. I am guessing this is why Subsonic ignores them. Since it's cross-platform, that behavior would carry over no matter where you compiled it, if it were in the Subsonic code.

This may very well be a feature request... but I don't know if it would ever be filled because it would require specific modifications to the code for specific operating systems.

It shouldn't be other symbols. I'm pretty sure it's just the period.
