My problem is that I have external partitions and hard drives with the ntfs format, and when mounting those drives to a Windows system, Windows will make hidden "Recycler" and "System Volume Information" folders. Sure Windows sucks, but I dont want to delete these folders because it will mess up the drive with Windows when I need to access it through Windows. I would request that these two folders be hidden by default in Dolphin. There should of course be some optional way to show the folders, but Ill leave that up to you guys to figure out. I believe it will be safer and much better looking to have those folders hidden by default. 677699 1 kde-2011.08 2008-12-08 12:37:27 +0000 Linux (and Unix in general) has a convention that filenames beginning with a dot are considered hidden files. I suggest that you file a bug with the developers of the NTFS file system and request that they follow this convention, as this has been standard behaviour for decades and only MS filesystem conflict. Please post a link to the bug that you file so that we can follow it. Does Windows Explorer display hidden *nix files by default when browsing ext3 and other filesystems? Can this be configured in Windows Explorer? 1290685 2 vanmeeuwen 2012-08-24 16:18:31 +0000 Resetting assignee to default as per bug #305719 1698586 3 nate 2017-09-03 16:44:20 +0000 There is approximately a 0% chance that Microsoft will add POSIX compatibility to NTFS and start using dotfiles for their hidden files. I think it's a reasonable request to hide these folders by default, and show them alongside dotfiles when the "Show hidden files" sessing is turned on. 1740639 4 infroma 2018-03-26 07:06:46 +0000 Git commit d7cce9937d5e9af2753fadb82d11f308b58bb8fa by Roman Inflianskas.
