Oh, and one last thing, before I forget, it's not Ubuntu Nautilus. Nautilus is not an Ubuntu application, but a GNOME one, and Ubuntu is FAR from the only GNOME-centric Linux distribution in existence.

It's just called Nautilus, and it has little more to do with Ubuntu development than it does for SuSE or Fedora or Arch or any other distribution that has it.

The Linux universe does not, never has, and never will revolve around Ubuntu. The sooner Ubuntu users can get over their popularity, the sooner people outside of Ubuntu users will stop being so annoyed with the Ubuntu community.

Good article, thanks.
I was have problem with hidden folders, they allways showed.
Even if i "in Nautilus, just click on "Edit" –> "Preferences", and under "View", you can check the box for "show hidden files…." or CTRL+H, they was back when i restarted Nautilus, but not any more. Thank U

Why in the hell would you want to do this? The files are hidden for a reason.

"WOW Yaro, I am impressed with your Ubuntu nerdness."

I don't use Ubuntu. I use Arch.

… … ….

Seriously, this is needlessly complicated. Here, let me revise this article into one sentence.

Hit CTRL + H.

Done. It'll stay across sessions, it'll stay until you hit CTRL + H again.

This article is stupid and reeks of an Ubuntard.

The only idiot here is F. Cisco
He discourages folks from posting very helpful tips that other have been searching for. Users may know a lot about Linux but may be new to gnome and nautilus may just be learning.
Please continue to post your helpful ideas.

no need to do all that. in Nautilus, just click on "Edit" –> "Preferences", and under "View", you can check the box for "show hidden files…."

I had no idea this was such a mystery to Ubuntu users.
