Description Ben Desjardins CLA 2012-10-12 11:53:24 EDT 
When using the ExportWizard extension point there is no way for me to prevent the metadata files (files/folders starting with ".") from being seen by the end user.

This can be seen when using the ExportWizard on a folder containing files/folders containing said metadata.

It would be helpful to add the ability to filter out metadata from the list of exportable items.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got
resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some
reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it.
The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you
still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is
(for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the stalebug whiteboard tag.
