Thanks for the detailed reply! So it's an actual story of a bug that became a feature. Cool and I didn't know that. :) Yep the .hidden file works! Although it looks like it had some delay before it showed up, but that's not a huge issue. I also notice it works with Thunar as well (which I still use as well next to Dolphin, as both have there strengths), so this completely makes things work the same way. Thunar still displayed the NTFS "$RECYCLE.BIN" and "System Volume Information" folders, which I liked to hide as well. Now that's solved too with .hidden. However, that gives a lot of specific control per directory, but it wouldn't be great if Dolphin had a general configuration option for this too? But lower priority wish, I get it. And then I am going to have that same wish for Thunar as well. :P -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
