            description="%Filter.factory.temp.description"
            id="com.bowstreet.designer.eclipse.navigator.filters.hideTempFolders"
            name="%Filter.factory.temp">
         <filterExpression>
            <instanceof value="org.eclipse.core.resources.IFolder"/>
            <test
                  forcePluginActivation="true"

This works fine for me in 3.7 (and I have not tested it in 3.6, the CNF for 3.7 and 3.6 is pretty much identical).

Can I suggest that you make sure you have the id of your filter in the viewerContentBinding for the Project Explorer (please note that these are regular expressions and not wildcards, so for example com.bowstreet.* worked for me.

I'm going to close this, if there is any additional information that indicates this is a problem, please provide it and reopen it.
