Hi there! In nautilus 2.16.3, backup files (files with names that end with a '~' character) are never shown in file browser mode if "File management preferences / Views / Show hidden and backup files" is unchecked, i. e. toggling "View / Show Hidden Files" toggles the display of dotfiles but backup files are always hidden. With "File management preferences / Views / Show hidden and backup files" checked, this is reversed, i. e. backup files are always shown - idependent of the setting of "View / Show Hidden Files".
I found those in Gnome's bugzilla: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=327361 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335315 and this in Ubuntu's launchpad: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/5326 but I didn't find a report in Gentoo's bugzilla. The patch http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=72108&action=view referenced from the Gnome bug #327361 solves the problem for me. Is this really an unknown bug wrt Gentoo or did I simply overlook the corresponding report? Regards mks -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
