Description Benjamin Kahn 2002-10-16 20:07:02 UTC 
I would really like to see something like this somewhere in the nautilus
display:

90 files, 10 selected, (5 hidden)

Further, I imagine it would be very nice if clicking on the (5 hidden)
portion would display the hidden files.  (If no files were hidden, it
should say "none hidden".  If there are no files to hide, but hiding is on,
it should be 0 hidden.)  Clicking on "none hidden" would hide backup and
dot files again.

This would give me more information about my directories, and also allow me
to easily show hidden files that I normally don't care about at all.

1. I like the idea of showing this info in the status bar, proabably
need to work out the details.

2. The correct way for us to allow show/hiding of hidden files is to
have a view menu entry but thats another bug.
Comment 2 Benjamin Kahn 2002-10-16 20:25:16 UTC 
yeah.  there should be a menu item to perform that task.  Doesn't mean
it shouldn't also be accessible someplace a little easier to mouse to.
 :^)

i have a more detailed status bar proposal in bug 96816, the show
hidden stuff should be discussed as part of bug 43472

marking as dupe of 96816
