Problem
Nautilus **hides** hidden files on reboot regardless of setting before rebooting.Expected
Nautilus keeps "show hidden" setting from before shutdown (in my case, always showing hidden files regardless of setting before shutdown is ok too).Question
**How to have Nautilus show hidden files after reboot without manually enabling "show hidden files" each time?**Debug info
{reboot}
$ gsettings get org.gnome.nautilus.preferences show-hidden-files
true
Open Nautilus (icon on dash) - hidden files not shown in Nautilus
Control+H - hidden files shown in Nautilus
Close Nautilus window
Open Nautilus (icon on dash) - hidden files not shown in Nautilus (expected behaviour)
Nautilus --> Edit --> Preferences --> Show hidden and backup files
Hidden files now shown until reboot
Reboot
Open Nautilus (icon on dash) - hidden files not shown in Nautilus
Why it happens
The "open file" dialog resets the "show hidden files" settings. Example: set show hidden files. in Firefox, choose file to upload to Dropbox. hidden files not shown anymore.
