I can't select local virtual environments I've created already that start with "." on MacOS #637
Description
Type: Bug
I cannot set my local virtual environment to be the virtual environments I've already created on my Mac because they all start with the prefix .venv/. The "browse" option to find these python environments can't show these hidden folders in the "finder" window that shows up , even when I press "command + shift + .". I'd love the old behavior to be restored because this is breaking my workflow, without adding a clear benefit.
Thanks!
