Public bug reported:
Summary:
Since 14.04, the nautilus file manager is always showing hidden items when I
open it. The setting can be changed, but reverts when I close the app so the
next time I use it it again defaults to showing hidden items.
Expected behavior: nautilus defaults to not showing hidden files and
folders. User can press Ctrl-H or use View > Show Hidden Files to
toggle the setting. And the new setting persists when nautilus is
closed and later re-launched (or in future sessions).
Current behavior: nautilus defaults to SHOWING hidden files and folders.
The setting can be toggled as expected. The setting does not persist
after the window is closed.
This is occurring both on the system I reported it from (an upgrade from
13.10 to 14.04) and on another system with a fresh install of 14.04.
