I've upgraded to nautilus 2.7.4-1 from experimental. With
desktop_is_home_dir set the hidden files and directories are now shown.
Is there something I'm missing, perhaps a key I can set to suppress
them, or is this a bug?
simply run a:
echo "filename" >> .hidden
on the console in your home for every file you don't want to see.
Thanks for the hint. The .hidden file looks useful for the odd file or
folder you'd like to hide but a bit unwieldy for the home directory with
hundreds of config files and directories, since it doesn't seem to allow
regrex. It also operates on the both desktop_is_home_dir and home
directory itself, rather than individually.
what about:
/bin/ls -a >> .hidden
That would do it. Then you open the file and remove the names that you actually want to see.
just my .02...
