Re: netrw prepends numbers to hidden/showing filenames when sorting by time

I change the regular expression to account for this when hiding filenames starting with ".", but I'm wondering why the numbers are they're there. The funny thing is that they're not *always* there, at least not the ones in front of bonafide files (the one in front of the entry for parent directory seems to be always there).

This problem is not happening to me.

I'm using Linux, vim v7.4.25, and netrw v150h. v140 is very old; I
advise upgrading netrw. You can get netrw from my website:
http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/index.html#NETRW .

I don't have a windows machine available for testing at the moment; I
probably won't be able to get to it until Wednesday night. Perhaps you
can upgrade your netrw first and see if fixes this issue in the meantime.

C Campbell
