You're not reading carefully enough.
From the info page:
| `hidden-files-shown'
| Boolean option, the same as the command line option
| `--hidden-files-shown'. *Note Command Line Options::.
From /usr/share/doc/d-1.2.0/d.conf.example:
| # 'hidden-files' - boolean option. Controls whether files with a
leading
| # period in their name are shown in the output. This defaults to
'false' in 'd'.
| # Set to 'true' or 't' or '1' to turn on.
|
| #hidden-files = False
Spot the difference?
If you put "hidden-files = true" in ~/.d.conf it works as advertised.
