Description Jörgen Scheibengruber 2004-05-14 17:36:44 UTC 
it would be nice to have a global (per user, or
even per machine) .hidden-like file (for example
~/.hidden-all), were one could list files that
should be hidden in all folders.
Why? Because WinXP puts these Thumbs.db files in
all folders were the WinXP thumbnailing feature is
enabled, and creating .hidden files for all of
them would be a really PITA :-)
