GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 129170
Support for the .hidden files
Last modified: 2005-06-12 04:51:37 UTC
It would be great if the GTK file selector supports the .hidden file feature of Nautilus. Sometimes it gets difficult to explain why files/folders not showing up in Nautilus "mysteriously" show up in the GTK file selector.

Created attachment 26220 [details] [review] Patch to add support for .hidden files in gtkfilesystemunix
Maybe it should be patched in gtkfilesystemgnomevfs and not in gtkfilesystemunix?
See the thread starting at http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-vfs-list/2004-April/msg00005.html I'm not sure if this should be in GtkFileSystemGnomeVFS rather than GtkFileSystemUnix; let's discuss it on the mailing list.
Mass changing gtk+ bugs with target milestone of 2.4.2 to target 2.4.4, as Matthias said he was trying to do himself on IRC and was asking for help with. If you see this message, it means I was successful at fixing the borken-ness in bugzilla :) Sorry for the spam; just query on this message and delete all emails you get with this message, since there will probably be a lot.
OK, the discussion Federico only had one reply from Alex Larsson who suggested to use .hidden for the GnomeVFS and the UNIX backend. Jan: Your patch doesn't apply any longer. Maybe you could rework it and submit another one against the GnomeVFS backend? :)
