Option to hide .manifest files in export

[Matt D]

I just thought it might be a good idea to give the option hide the .manifest files when building the asset bundles (File.SetAttributes(path, File.GetAttributes(path) | FileAttributes.Hidden);)

Thank you for the proposal.

Implementing this is very easy, but I think it does not benefit developer. You could easily end up mismatched manifest in your server deployment. (Of course, you can write your own exporter to do this)

Unless you have very specific reason why this is necessary and beneficial, I will decline this proposal and put it wontfix for now.

@homae That's fine I just thought it would make the export directory look a little tidier as most devs either remove the manifest files or hide them.

Thank you. If manifest is found to be irrelevant to many developers, maybe it makes sense to add "Copy manifest" option to Exporter, instead of copy and hide.
