I also see this as a serious bug - the only way to search for some hidden files (which can be important, such as .conf files) is through a terminal.

This is annoying because I just want to filter down the exceptionally large home folder (in this case, I have a .wine-* folder for each distinct Windows app and want a quick way to manage those folders, but I can't search on .wine and there is no filter mode in Nautilus) ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.10 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/nautilus Package: nautilus 1:2.24.1-0ubuntu2 ProcEnviron: PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games LANG=en_CA.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: nautilus Uname: Linux 2.6.27-11-generic i686 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/334125/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
