Home: Is there a "hidden" property that can be set for contentFiles?

[StingyJack]

When reporting a VS problem, I was told that the reason for the unwanted behavior (contentFiles showing up as project files in sln explorer) was that a package was incorrectly authored and should have included the files as "hidden" instead of "contentFiles".

I cant find a hidden attribute or element in the nuspec.xsd. Is the info I was given correct and the documentation is out of date, or is the opposite true?

We have another tracking issue for this request. As per this comment, contentFiles are already visible under package nodes and the tracking issue linked above is to remove content files from the rest of the tree. Please feel free to comment in the linked issue or upvote so that we can prioritize it based on the customer impact.

I don't see hidden option for contentFiles. The closest attribute is to exclude under contentFiles element to exclude files from the package for e.g. see doc which is not the ask here.

@kartheekp-ms the ask here had a few facets, which I think you have addressed all of except for the one thats a MSFT internal matter (why and how the MSFT developer community triage team member came to be misinforming a customer in this way), and my involvement with that stops as soon as I can get your (or someone at MSFT's) word that it will be followed up on and addressed.

@StingyJack - I didn't make it explicit here as it is an internal matter. I will discuss about this in our internal team meeting and address the feedback. Thank you.
