So does this mean that nothing will be done at all? Besides, I can think of cases beyond Thumbs.db, where it would be nice to have a way of hiding files. Pesky .pyc files are a good example. Nautilus already does its own hiding of files, such as files ending with ~, so why is this a big problem?
Also, sometimes folders will get copied from one filesystem to another, and so hiding Thumbs.db on a filesystem that looks like Windows, only to have it appear on an ext4 partition after copying, doesn't seem like a much better solution. Of course I'm not sure if that's what the "filesystem specific checks" would imply, but it's a potential problem. -- Non-Linux hidden files like Thumbs.db should be treated the same as .filename https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/130997 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
