.htaccess override IndexIgnore *, IndexIgnore nothing

Question

I have a directory with an .htaccess file having the setting IndexIgnore *. How can I set a subdirectory to not ignore anything, or to ignore the negation of everything, so as to override the parent directory's IndexIgnore? Like IndexIgnore ^*, only a working version thereof?

Answer 1

I don't think it will be possible because IndexIgnore list is always appended in the existing list (from parent .htaccess). There is now way to overwrite this directive AFAIK.
