My similar bug report on 14.04 got linked to this one. But mine is not identical.
The difference: on this report the original poster writes, "When changed via gui the setting is remembered correctly." In my case that is not true. No matter whether I use Ctrl+H or View > Show Hidden Files, the setting is never remembered after I close nautilus. If I'm remembering correctly, this used to be remembered. In 14.04 the *preference* for it is remembered (in Edit > Preferences) but the current value of the setting is not remembered. Something that should be added to the symptoms in this bug report: it's not just that the setting is not remembered; it's also that the preference (In Edit > Preferences > Views ) is apparently set to Show Hidden and Backup Files by default when you install or upgrade. That probably was not the intended behavior. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1247221 Title: Nautilus doesn't remember setting for showing hidden files correctly when org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser show-hidden is true Status in Nautilus: New Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Description: Ubuntu 13.10 Release: 13.10 nautilus: 1:3.8.2-0ubuntu2 The default setting of not showing hidden files can be changed with strg+h. After all windows are closed nautilus remembers to show hidden files again when opening a new window. If strg+h is pressed again to hide hidden files nautilus does so but still keeps showing hidden files in new windows. When changed via gui the setting is remembered correctly.
