Bug ID: 479912
Summary: Please don't hide files ending in ~ – or at least add
an option to not do so
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version: 23.08.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: t...@stonemx.de
CC: kfm-de...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
At least since 23.08.3, Dolphin decided that files ending in "~" are "hidden"
files. Like files starting with ".".
I stumbled upon this when I created a backup of a file like we always did: By
copying it to it's name with a "~" appended. The backup did not show up in
Dolphin. So I opened Konsole to check what's wrong to see the file is actually
there – but hidden.
After all, this is of course a design decision. But for me as a Linux user of
almost 20 years, I would call this at least a bit "unexpected": ls does show
files ending in "~". And it hides files starting with ".". Like it always did.
I personally would expect a file manager to behave the same.
So … if you really think that "~" file should be hidden (for whatever reason
…): Please at least let me choose to not do so via some config option. I think
this would be trivial to add; I only didn't implement it and create a MR
because I'm not sure where to put such an option.
Thanks a lot in advance for letting the user decide this ;-)
