Update: I found a workaround which works in XFCE to unhide .bak/.old files in Dolphin. Create the file /usr/share/mime/packages/backup.xml with the following contents:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mime-info xmlns='http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info'> <mime-type xmlns="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info"; type="application/x-backup"> <comment>Backups</comment> <generic-icon name="application/x-backup"/> <glob pattern="*~"/> <glob pattern="*%"/> <glob pattern="*.bak"/> <glob pattern="*.old"/> <glob pattern="*.sik"/> <icon name="application-x-trash"/> </mime-type> </mime-info> Then run: sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/39376 Title: Allow hidding of backup files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kde-baseapps/+bug/39376/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
