Solution #1 wouldn't work for hiding python .pyc files - so it might be good to go with patching nautilus (and gtk+ file opener?). -- Non-Linux hidden files like Thumbs.db should be treated the same as .filename https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/130997 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

thank you for your work, unsetting the patch status though since that require extra upstream discussion and nautilus might not be the right component to change there either since the fileselector etc have similar issue -- Non-Linux hidden files like Thumbs.db should be treated the same as .filename https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/130997 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 130997] Re: Non-Linux hidden files like Thumbs.db should be treated the same as .filename
So does this mean that nothing will be done at all? Besides, I can think of cases beyond Thumbs.db, where it would be nice to have a way of hiding files. Pesky .pyc files are a good example. Nautilus already does its own hiding of files, such as files ending with ~, so why is this a big problem? Also, sometimes folders will get copied from one filesystem to another, and so hiding Thumbs.db on a filesystem that looks like Windows, only to have it appear on an ext4 partition after copying, doesn't seem like a much better solution. Of course I'm not sure if that's what the filesystem specific checks would imply, but it's a potential problem. -- Non-Linux hidden files like Thumbs.db should be treated the same as .filename https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/130997 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

gvfs could add custom layer to hide files using the standard .hidden file in each directory. -- Non-Linux hidden files like Thumbs.db should be treated the same as .filename https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/130997 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 130997] Re: Non-Linux hidden files like Thumbs.db should be treated the same as .filename
Remember there are two possibilities: 1. Reading the hidden attribute from filesystems that support it 2. Pattern-matching on commonly-hidden filenames like Thumbs.db, desktop.ini, ~*.tmp, __MACOSX, etc. - like a global .hidden file The kernel devs refuse to consider #1, while dfalk's patch seems to implement #2. Does Samba do something like #1 that could be implemented for local filesystems? I don't see anything on http://bugzilla.kernel.org/ about this. The mailing list discussion says it will be ignored, but maybe we should file it anyway? I don't think #2 is a bad idea at all, though, and could probably be extended to be part of a related idea to allow for files to be attached to other files, with the attachments hidden by default (book.txt~ attached to book.txt, and web_page_files attached to web_page.html, for instance). That might require glob-matching as well as filename matching, though, but it's also something done on a file- level rather than a filesystem-level. Does the .hidden convention allow for any type of wildcard or regexp?

[Bug 130997] Re: Non-Linux hidden files like Thumbs.db should be treated the same as .filename
Hmm, seems the kernel devs where not so happy about the idea. If we really want this it should be done in gvfs (with filesystem specific checks) and not in nautilus, definitely not with blacklists. -- Non-Linux hidden files like Thumbs.db should be treated the same as .filename https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/130997 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
