I'll be dammed, you're right; Nautilus is smart enough to realize that it doesn't make sense to show dot files when your home directory is your desktop. > I keep this script in .gnome2/nautilus-scripts and use it to switch my > viewing of dot files. > > http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/nautilus-scripts/System%20Configuration/Hide%20or%20Show%20Hidden%20Files Well, you guys picked my curiosity. I just set my home directory as my desktop. I'll try to free my mind from the MacOS X/Windows Desktop paradigm in which I have lived for a long time. This is gonna be great for saving files to the desktop from my browser and other apps. But still, there are lots of folders I can't move somewhere else. What do you guys do with folders like Mail, News, public_html? Those have to stay in the desktop, right? Cheers, Eloy.-
