> How would one open a backup file if it isn't shown? I can't tell if you're asking me the question seriously, or being a little sarcastic, so I'll answer it seriously... Nautilus' approach works better for me, thats all I'm saying. I expected with GNOME's integrated and consistant approach that gedit should behave similarly.
Perhaps gedit could have a button in its file picker to 'show backup files'
