Hello all, After a discussion between myself, Ahmuck, and Lns yesterday, wherein Lns revealed the mysteries of the ".hidden" file to me for hiding things from Nautilus, I banged together "hide-tool" last night, a brief shell script that does the following:
1) Create '.hidden' files for /, /usr, /usr/bin, /sbin, /usr/sbin, /usr/lib, and /usr/local/bin. 2) Allow for overrides within these hidden driectories (for example, in root, "home" isn't hidden). 3) fires the hide-tool job off hourly, so that as an administrator adds or removes packages from the system, the .hidden files are updated. There's a man page that comes with it. It's in my ppa. https://edge.launchpad.net/~sbalneav/+archive/ppa Any questions, let me know. Oh, btw, if you remove the package, you'll have to go into the directories and manually remove the .hidden files. Scott Scott L.
