Put "show/hide hidden files" as standard in toolbar and provide icon for it. I really think this is a useful action which should be standard there. If you do not agree, it would be good having at least an icon for this.

Just use Alt+Period (.) for that purpose, a default(!) button would confuse users and the function is easily reachable in the “View”-menu.

Comment 2 bazwal 2010-09-06 15:35:29 UTC

agree that a default toolbar button would be wrong. as for the icon: what would you suggest? (maybe the reason it doesn't currently have one is because no can think of anything appropriate...)

Comment 3 Peter Penz 2011-12-19 09:18:45 UTC

Thanks for the suggestion, but it is not planned to make this part of the default toolbar. Regarding the icon: In general I think each action in the toolbar should have an icon (but probably not in the menu) - however this is a general request/wish unrelated to "show/hidden" files. Also we'd need input how such an icon should look like...

FWIW, there is an icon now.
