Bug#306655: gedit shouldn't show backup files in file picker by default

[inkwire]

 How would one open a backup file if it isn't shown?

I can't tell if you're asking me the question seriously, or being a little
sarcastic, so I'll answer it seriously...
Nautilus' approach works better for me, thats all I'm saying. I expected
with GNOME's integrated and consistant approach that gedit should behave
similarly.

Perhaps gedit could have a button in its file picker to 'show backup files'

I've filed a bug with the GTK+ file selector to consider backup files to
be hidden files, so are hidden by default.  No action on it yet,
thought.

Bug#306655: gedit shouldn't show backup files in file picker by default

[inkwire]

Package: gedit
Version: 2.8.3-3
Severity: wishlist

By default, gedit saves a backup copy of files, with a ~, and it shows
those files in its file picker. Its confusing to see these backup files.
Nautilus by default doesn't show such files. I think gedit should do as
Nautilus does here.
