Public bug reported:
Nautilus displays a big directory symbol alongside the message
"directory is empty" [or something to that effect] for empty
directories. However, it does not differentiate at all between
directories that are truly empty, and directories that contain only
hidden files and directories (i.e. their names start with a dot).
I've lost data that way. By removing seemingly "empty" directories, I
mean. More than once. (The fact that the recycle bin is broken on btrfs
[see Debian bug #698640) does not help.
Could nautilus display, I don't know, a question mark in the symbol and
"contains only hidden items" in the description or something?
