GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 145334
Folder list should respect .hidden files
Last modified: 2007-02-08 11:46:30 UTC
As the file chooser and NAutilus respect this file, so should the folder list in ghtumb.
Both gthumb 2.6.0 and 2.7.7 appear to respect hidden files (and folders) on my system (FC5). Can you expand on this bug report, or close it if it is incorrect/obsolete?
You didn't understand the report. 1. cd ~/ 2. mkdir SHOULD_BE_HIDDEN 3. echo SHOULD_BE_HIDDEN >> .hidden 4. Check in nautilus and gthumb, nautilus hides the folder, gthumb doesn't. Tested with 2.7.7
Interesting. I've never heard of the .hidden file before. Do you have a gnome api reference for it, or something similar?
No, it's a nautilus and GtkFileChooser feature.

Fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major release. Thank you for your bug report.
