I think that this bug is a combination of two things: #1: spatial windows remember their "do not show hidden files" and "do not show backup files" settings, and are not overridden by central preferences unless the window is set back to current defaults. (Note: Both of the above preference settings are toggled by the same item in preferences.)
#2: the "Show Hidden Files" menu option only toggles the "do not show hidden files" option. With #2 fixed, the behaviour should be a bit more logical... ** Attachment added: "Fix "Show Hidden Files" menu item" http://librarian.launchpad.net/1983715/10_nautilus_backup_files.dpatch ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Status: Needs Info => Confirmed -- Show hidden files does not show files ending with '~' https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/5326 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
