Status in Ubuntu Manual: In Progress Bug description: Rev. 788 Ch.2, § "Creating new folders", p. 30 (PDF p. 32) Types: suggestion, grammar Manual states: If you wish to hide certain folders or files, place a dot (.) in front of the name (i.e., “.Personal Finances”). This is true, but is it really the best way? Creating a text file called .hidden and typing the files and subdirectories you wish to hide on separate lines is, I believe, a much neater solution, allowing more naming freedom; it's also the only viable way to hide Windows system directories. For example, on my dual-boot laptop I have in /mnt/WindowsHD/.hidden: $Recycle.Bin System Volume Information hiberfil.sys pagefile.sys msdia80.dll System Recovery Windows Renaming any of these so the name starts with a dot would be extremely unwise, but leaving them always visible almost invites mishaps. So I suggest mention of this method in addition to the start-name-with-dot method. The quoted text also uses "i.e." (that is) when "e.g." (for example) is likely the better Latin abbreviation. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual-bugs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
