[Bug 1310492] Re: Hidden files in the home folder are being displayed by default every time a new window is opened or the application relaunced.
This affects me too. Pressing Ctrl + H toggles hidden files correctly until a new nautilus window is opened. I've checked dconf-editor as suggested in http://www.maketecheasier.com/nautilus-disable-show-hidden-files/ and show-hidden-files is false/unchecked, but it doesn't change behaviour of newly opened windows. Going to nautilus preferences and un-checking 'show hidden and backup files' seems to reset the default preference for new windows. It seems confusing to me to have two different toggles - a global default for newly opened windows (nautilus preferences dialogue) - and a toggle for the state of the current window (Ctrl + H) In previous versions there was only one toggle which switched both visibility in the current window, and newly opening windows (the single toggle was accessible both with Ctrl + H and the preferences dialogue). This is kind of hard to explain clearly... ** Attachment added: Screenshot from 2014-05-01 18:30:06.png https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1310492/+attachment/4102586/+files/Screenshot%20from%202014-05-01%2018%3A30%3A06.png ** Summary changed: - Hidden files in the home folder are being displayed by default every time a new window is opened or the application relaunced. + Hidden files in the home folder are being displayed by default every time a new window is opened or the application relaunched. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1310492 Title: Hidden files in the home folder are being displayed by default every time a new window is opened or the application relaunched.

You might have Show hidden and backup files setting checked in your Preferences. I had this setting checked and nautilus was showing hidden files persistently between reboots. Uncheck this setting and see if you are still facing the problem. http://imgur.com/uqPuHAo -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1310492 Title: Hidden files in the home folder are being displayed by default every time a new window is opened or the application relaunced.

Thank you for your bug report. Does it happen in a guest session? Do you show hidden files in the GTK files selectors? ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1310492 Title: Hidden files in the home folder are being displayed by default every time a new window is opened or the application relaunced.
