How can we add a .bst bibtex style file in Entry Preview if file is in hidden dir?

In JabRef 6.0–2024-12-04–0dad3e1
Linux 6.8.0-49-generic amd64
Java 23.0.1
JavaFX 23.0.1+4
running in Ubuntu 24.04.1, there is a field to add a new .bst file, which I surmise will be parsed and added to the already existing ones in JabRef.

However, in my present installation, the bst files are in a hidden directory in my home dir, which the file choose GUI does not access.

Is there a means of having JabRef see these files?

I tried to reconfigure Nautilus to allow hidden files and directories, but it does not percolate to the Java application JabRef is.

Is there another place to configure?

Hi,

Can you add a screenshot? On Windows, it is possible to paste a directory in the file chooser dialog.
