How to reproduce the bug: 1. Open Nautilus: Everything normal, hidden files are hidden. 2. In Nautilus press CTRL + H: Hidden files are shown. 3. Close Nautilus and open again: hidden files are back hidden. 4. Open Gedit; 5. In gedit try to open file. In the file chooser dialog, press ctrl + h. Hidden files will be shown, to be choosen. Close Gedit without choosing a file. 6. Open nautilus. Hidden files are shown again.
Resume: when showing hidden files in the file chooser dialog, this preference sticks when re-opening nautilus. PS: You can revert to the default behavior in nautilus: Edit -> Preferences -> Uncheck "Show hidden files" In UX terms, its counterintuitive. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1247221 Title: Nautilus doesn't remember setting for showing hidden files correctly when org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser show-hidden is true To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/1247221/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
