Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
Hidden files are never shown on the desktop. Even when i enable "Show
hidden and backup files" in Nautilus > Preferences only regular folders
and files are shown there.
When i browse the "Desktop" folder in Nautilus directly all hidden files
are all shown correctly according to my preferences (can easily be
switched by CTRL+H). So the files are there but there is no option to
show them on my desktop.
Steps to reproduce:
1) create a new hidden file on the desktop
2) press F5 to refresh and it will disapear
Expected behaviour:
Hidden file is shown according to the "Show hidden and backup files"
preferences of Nautilus.
Even better would be an additional setting to enable hidden files for desktop
separatly without enabling them in Nautilus folder view.
This behaviour occurs no matter if it is a hidden file or a hidden
folder. Ubuntu version is 9.04 with all updates.
