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 Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/1247221/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
