Part Library browser cannot access hidden directory below "~/.local"

[wolfgangr]

• installed part library using addon manager
• called macro as instructed
• can browse file tree, but not access part library location
• opening part library in addon manager, I find the installation path:
  /home/username/.local/share/FreeCAD/Mod/parts_library
  but cannot open this location, since directory names starting with a dot are hidden in standard GUI
• don't know how the file browser of the GUI is configured, but I can't find a location to enter/show hidden directories
• workaround: create a non hidden symbolic link, e.g.
  _local_share_FreeCAD -> /home/username/.local/share/FreeCAD

The problem is that for some reason the PartsLibrary.FCMacro script is not copied when installing the Part Library. I have solved it by downloading PartsLibrary.FCMacro file from github, and copying it to /home/username/.local/share/FreeCAD/Macro

Is there some nice solution for the same issue in windows ?
