For some reason .so files aren't showing up in the Jupyter Notebook file browser

[maraMaraschino]

Description

There is a .so file that I'm trying to access which isn't showing up at all in the Jupyter file browser.

Reproduce

The notebook file I'm working on is here, and the file I'm trying to access is libpixie4e.so. I tried looking in other folders that contain .so files, but they're not showing up anywhere, so I assume this is a general issue.

Expected behavior

I expected to be able to see the .so file and I cannot

Context

• Operating System and version: Windows 11
• Browser and version: Firefox Version 127.0.1
• Jupyter Notebook version: I've ran this from Notebook version 6.4.8 and Lab version 2.14.1, both using WSL

Are these by any chance classed as hidden files on your Windows machine? If so you may want to follow https://jupyterlab.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/files.html#displaying-hidden-files

The above will only work in Notebook 7 and in a modern version of JupyterLab (e.g. 3.6.x or 4.x)

The files aren't hidden. Also, can you link me to instructions on setting up Notebook 7 or a new Lab, please?
