Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
When a file is named .something in Linux, it's considered a hidden file,
and Nautilus can be toggled to display these or not.
I guess OS X uses the same convention, so .DS_Store and the like will
not be shown?
But other OSes don't, so we have things like Thumbs.db, desktop.ini, and
so on. These should be treated exactly the same way by Nautilus; hidden
from view until you toggle the "Show hidden files" option. Either by
setting a blacklist of common filenames or by actually reading the
hidden file attribute from NTFS/FAT/whatever.
** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
