Description Asif Ali Rizvan 2014-03-01 18:41:24 UTC 
Please see this video, here Untitled folder when named .themes doesn't change to .themes

http://youtu.be/PKKi5hzuWW8?t=1m8s

Also,

make a folder, rename it with say the prefix '.' the folder still shows in the directory.

This happens only when "Show Hidden" folders option is disabled. 

If we enable Show Hidden Folders, this bug will not happen.

Expected Behavior:

1. Show the recently renamed ".folder" even when "Show Hidden files/folders" option is Disabled and till the user reloads/refreshes the directory.
