But > lower priority wish, I get it. It's a bit too niche I think. Creating such a .hidden file is quite easy and one only has to do it once per file system. As a general option for hiding we have already recently added a setting in Dolphin's settings dialog to hide application/x-trash mime types. Users can already modify that any file extension belongs to that mime type and hide them this way. And I don't want to be too eager to hide that folder either because it can be very important for recovering data. Actually, it might make more sense to bother the developers of the fsck utility to not create such folders in the first place. That's on them after all (https://www.baeldung.com/linux/lost-found-directory) and conceptually it seems easier to me to not create a random empty folder when it isn't needed rather than have every application that shows folders to hide it. Dolphin provides various ways of hiding already and we do inform about them in the extended help text of the Dolphin hiding feature. I think we should have most workflows covered this way. There are unfortuantely sometimes aspects which are so custom and specific to users that adding a general setting for them is too much trouble and therefore leads to more issues in the long term than it helps. > And then I am going to have that same wish for Thunar as well. :P Well, don't get your hopes up! I am not sure the Thunar devs are keen on implementing such a feature either. 😅 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
