            Bug ID: 356770
           Summary: Confirmation if filename is changed to begin with a
                    dot (= hidden file)
           Product: dolphin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
          Reporter: matti.kettu...@gmail.com

If user is not familiar with hidden files he/she can accidentially hide a file
by changing the filename. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Activate file and press F2 to rename it
2. Press delete or backspace
3. Press enter

Actual Results:  
File will be renamed with it's extension only. For example file.pdf -> .pdf 
Because new filename begins with a dot it will be hidden.

Expected Results:  
Dolphin should ask for confirmation if user is changing filename so that the
file will be hidden. 

Confirmation should be asked because most of the "normal" computer users are
not familiar with hidden files and they might think that the file was
accidentally deleted.
