How to reproduce the bug: 1. Open Nautilus: Everything normal, hidden files are hidden. 2. In Nautilus press CTRL + H: Hidden files are shown. 3. Close Nautilus and open again: hidden files are back hidden. 4. Open Gedit; 5. In gedit try to open file. In the file chooser dialog, press ctrl + h. Hidden files will be shown, to be choosen. Close Gedit without choosing a file. 6. Open nautilus. Hidden files are shown again.
Resume: when showing hidden files in the file chooser dialog, this preference sticks when re-opening nautilus. PS: You can revert to the default behavior in nautilus: Edit -> Preferences -> Uncheck "Show hidden files" In UX terms, its counterintuitive. -- 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.
