Description Miguel Angel Ruiz Manzano 2006-02-01 22:50:20 CET
Basically, Thunar doesn't save my settings about show hidden files. Next time
that Thunar runs, doesn't preserve my configuration changes. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Thunar
2. Go to options menu  
3. Select "View"  
4. Uncheck option: "Show Hidden Files"  
5. Close Thunar  
6. Open Thunar and appears hidden files!
Actual Results:  
Appears hidden files (if the configuration is saved, then Thunar must hide them)

Expected Results:  
Hide "hidden files".

- Thunar downloaded from svn: version 0.2.1svn-r
- UbuntuLinux Breezy (5.10), kernel 2.6.12-10-386
- Xfce 4.2.2 (Xubuntu desktop metapackage)
- GTK+ 2.8.6-0ubuntu2.1

This is probably confusing, but the "Show hidden files" is a global settings.
The default is setup in the preferences dialog. Maybe that should be changed to
remember the last selected setting instead, dunno.

Ok, the "Show Hidden Files" setting now works as expected.

Committed with revision 19714.

2006-02-02	Benedikt Meurer <benny@xfce.org>

	* docs/README.thunarrc, thunar/thunar-preferences.c: Rename the
	  DefaultShowHidden preference to LastShowHidden.
	* thunar/thunar-preferences-dialog.c, thunar/thunar-window.c: Drop the
	  "Show hidden files" option from the preferences dialog. Instead Thunar
	  now preserves the users last selection. This way, the "Show hidden
	  files" behaviour is now consistent with the rest of the file manager.
	  Bug #1417.
