Yes, but very Mac-like. THE file browser behaves the same as the Finder, 
which does not, by default, show you "hidden" files. Files can be hidden 
for number of reasons, and having a .* name is one of them.

You can change this preference, but not through any GUI tool Apples 
gives you. I use "TinkerTool" myself.
