Description junk.skunk.3 2024-03-25 12:51:26 UTC

SUMMARY
A file does not show in Dolphin (but does show in terminal with 'ls'). 
There is another file with almost the same name - the only difference is that '.OLD' is appended to the name of the file that is not visible (datastore-xx-yy.h5 and datastore-xx-yy.h5.OLD)
The file is not hidden.
Maybe relevant, maybe not - the partition is NTFS.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. 
2. 
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
A file is missing in the folder shown in Dolphin

EXPECTED RESULT
No files are missing

While playing with Dolphin settings, I clicked 'show hidden files' and the file showed up.
Previously, I toggled ALT+. and nothing was happening. 

For some reason, the file is, in fact, hidden. It's a copy of another file that is not hidden, does not start with a dot...

Thanks for the bug report!

The file ending in .OLD is considered an application/x-trash backup file. For a while we thought it would be a good idea to hide this by default. A short while later this decision was reverted with https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/commit/9691afbc507ee480d4d129a6fff90b6b926aed62.

I'll mark this as a duplicate of the other already resolved/fixed bug report.
