Description Bastien Nocera 2004-07-03 00:27:54 UTC 
As the file chooser and NAutilus respect this file, so should the folder list in
ghtumb.
Comment 1 Michael Chudobiak 2006-09-24 13:45:43 UTC 
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?
Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2006-09-24 14:13:41 UTC 
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
Comment 3 Michael Chudobiak 2006-09-24 14:25:10 UTC 
Interesting. I've never heard of the .hidden file before. Do you have a gnome api reference for it, or something similar?
Comment 4 Bastien Nocera 2006-09-24 14:27:19 UTC 
No, it's a nautilus and GtkFileChooser feature.
