Hiding files in IDEA File Explorer

I stumbled upon a (afaik) undocumented feature. The IDEA file explorer does not display IMD filenames starting with a dollar sign (e.g. $LEDGER.IMD). Nevertheless these files can be opened via IDEAscript.

You can also use the ~ and it will also hide the files.  Thanks for sharing, I never tried the $ sign, good to know.
