Second Dominik's post as not fixed. The hidden files are showing in Nautilus on 16.04 by default and when changed back do not stay like that.
My thanks to him, his suggested fix via Firefox Save dialog worked for me - I have tried many of the older suggestions - including resetting nautilus preferences and the archive fix above, but his was the only one that fixed this issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1497545 Title: archive manager changes file manager default settings to show hidden files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file-roller/+bug/1497545/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
