      On Mac using the QDir, when setting the filter to setFilter(QDir::Hidden) the extended attribute com.apple.FinderInfo(32) is shown. It will also show the hidden directories as expected.

      It should perhaps only list directories that are hidden with setFilter(QDir::Hidden).

      And have a different attribute in QDir that will enabled showing the extended attribute.

      There is a sematic difference between the two. The first really means hidden, the second may
      mean 'the finder shall not display this'.
