SUMMARY I accidentally created a file with a dollar sign in it. Dolphin does not display that sign in the name. This could cause confusion, at least. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. With bash, run touch 'file.na'$'me' 2. Open Dolphin and display the containing folder OBSERVED RESULT File is displayed as file.name EXPECTED RESULT File should be displayed as file.na$me SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 20.04 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0 Qt Version: 5.12.8 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION When the name ends with $, it gets displayed (eg. touch 'filename'$). But adding an empty string after makes it disappear (eg. touch 'filename'$'').
`touch 'file.na'$'me'` Actually results in a file without a dollar sign in it at all. You would need to do `touch 'file.na'\$'me'`, and this produces a file with a dollar sign in it as expected. Essentially the dollar sign needs to be be escaped or else your shell interprets it it as the start of a variable.
This makes sense ! However I do have a file that is listed as 'base2019.sqlite'$'\n' with ls and is displayed as base2019.sqlite by dolphin. I do not remember how I created them, so I tried to do it again but failed.
I can't manage to get a file by that name to get created, which is an indication that it's pretty invalid. :) Any chance you can figure out how to create it?
