[SOLVED] Streaming Bulk Import does not import files/folders starting with dot

I am using Streaming Bulk Import for Alfresco Community version 5.0.a. It seems that it is not importing the files and folders (source directory on a local drive) whose name starts with dot(.). It does scan files (name starting with .) and reports in scanned stats but does not import them in Alfresc

I think it is because of constrains on "cm:name" property of alfresco according to which name of contents cannot start with special characters as it will create issues in indexing. That is the reason bulk import is not importing those folders.

Bulk Import use a list of import filters to filters out directory and files from the import source directory .By default following files and directories are filtered out:


    * all hidden files (note: the definition of "hidden" depends on the OS - see http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/io/File.html#isHidden() for details).
    * all files that begin with a "." (this is for the benefit of those on Windows - on Unix-like OSes these should have been filtered by the hidden file filter already).

You can modify this behaviour by editing
