Am I missing something, or is there a new way of doing this?

The sharing option for each file now contains an option for Multi-user (Hidden) which hides the file. This should also be able to be toggled via the Scriptmaker.

Thanks for the tip. I missed that option somehow.

While I was converting files from 4 to 5, FM correctly set files with underscore to Multi-user Hidden during the conversion.
