Description Leonidas Arvanitis 2022-01-21 13:51:14 UTC
Please add an option to hide the file extensions in the Folder View widget.

I would like to use it for a "custom application menu" - ie a folder full of .desktop files.

In fact it automatically hides the .desktop extensions for desktop files. :)

If it doesn;'t, that means you have it set to show "/home/<your username>" instead of "Desktop folder", and changing that back will fix it.

My feature request is for the option to hide them in custom folders, as well - not just the "Desktop folder".
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2022-01-23 17:33:41 UTC
Gotcha.

if we did this, we might even be able to remove the desktop:/ ioslave since its sole purpose to exist (IIRC) is providing this functionality.
