On my Windows network drives, some folders have a large number of files beginning with ~$. I would like to hide these files in Nautilus.
I've tried adding the file names to a .hidden
file (as documented here), but it doesn't seem to recognize them, I'm assuming because of the tilde in front. Is there a way to either make the file names be recognized from the .hidden
file, or to add a rule to Nautilus to hide such file prefixes?
.hidden
does not work is that Nautilus interprets the lines listed as regular expressions, so the$
in the filename is interpreted specially (not the tilde, which does not have specific meaning). Could you try listing them as~\$.*
and see if this works?
