In Konqueror there is a Filter system really useful for this particular case that could be useful in Dolphin too. In Dolphin there is a Filter bar and adding support to negation, something like -*.~, you could hide backup files easily. Add this features seems easy. On the other side, if you need track your changes you need a control version system and not store all your backups in a central repository. > However, at the moment backup files are not listed by nepomuk, making it > impossible to detect them.
