I would rather not have a toolbar button for this....toolbar buttons should be for what users do frequently. I rarely have a need to toggle viewing hidden files. Generally, they're hidden for a reason. ;-) If it were implemented, I'd rather see it as a menu option, and toggling just the current directory. Especially as I am one of the nautilus users that has $HOME for the desktop....things would get pretty nasty looking if I switched "show hidden files" on. --Ryan On Mon, 2002-02-11 at 17:55, David Emory Watson wrote: > > Darin would know better than I would, but I would suspect that this > could be a performance problem if the user has multiple windows open > since changing the "show hidden files" preference would trigger all open > windows to update.... > > Additionally, I would prefer that this option be placed in the "View" > sub menu rather than on the tool bar.
