Description Antti Savolainen 2024-09-14 11:49:03 UTC 
SUMMARY
This could help hiding some of the dotfile clutter from the home folder as there are dotfiles that you might need and then there are dotfiles that are just generated because some old program doesn't adhere to the specification. 

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.5.0
Qt Version: 6.7.2

Can you please provide a little more detail on your idea?
From what I understand you would like, for instance, to hide certain dot files in ~/ but not others.
Would the ones to be hidden be listed in the .hidden file?
Comment 2 Antti Savolainen 2024-12-05 16:40:44 UTC 
Because the dot at the beginning of the filename already hides it, there is no functional difference from adding it to the .hidden file. I was thinking that it could be as simple as: If a file or folder that starts with a dot is listed in the .hidden file, then it wouldn't show up in dolphin at all.

Thanks for clarifying
