Hi folks, I know that we can't hide a folder or file in ubuntu directly by changing any properties.But we can do it in an indirect way. that means renaming the file or folder that starts with an .<filename> for example: selva is the initial file name and renaming it as .selva will prevent the file from others unless they are using ls -a .But I have used an approach .I have renamed a folder in my desktop selva to .selva and I refreshed my desktop .I couldn't see the file.cool I have opened the file manager nautilus and moved on the edit -->preferences-->show hidden files (ctrl + H)and backup files .I could see the hidden folder.But when I am refreshing my desktop I couldn't see the particular folder.How come this could be possible.As per the logic I have to see the hidden folder in the desktop to as I am selecting to view all the hidden files and folder .But I couldn't view it.Please fix this bug.
