Description Uno Engborg 2005-03-11 16:58:17 UTC 
If a directory contains a .hidden file. The folders listed in that files is
hidden in Nautilus. I  suggest that they shoul be hidden in file dialogs as well.

The user should not get two different impressions on what a folder contains. One
in Nautilus, another in file dialogs.

If the files are hidden, they probably are so to make it easier for the user to
see things that is more important or frequently used. If unhidden files was a
problem in Nautilus, they probably will be even more problematic in a file
dialog where there is less space availabe and scrolling occur much more frequently.
