Version: (using KDE KDE 3.3.0) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Konqueror has an option to Show or Hide Hidden Files. Im guessing that this affects dot files. I often find I have files that I would like konqueror to treat as hidden files to avoid clutter, but which do not have names that start with a dot. Two common cases for me are: 1. backup files named filename~ 2. python bytecode files named module.pyc One obvious approach is to have some indication in the file type .desktop file that it should be classed as hidden.
