[PD] Hidden folders in PD open/save dialog

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

This would be huge, it would greatly help the newbies.  In workshops,  
a lot of people had trouble with those open/save panels.

There are quite a few apps written with Tcl/Tk for GNU/Linux, so I am  
sure we are not the first to want this feature.  I would be very  
surprised if another Tcl/Tk app hasn't solved this already.

I have had good luck with the #tcl room.
