Hidden folders won't stay hidden

[huxley2]

Hi, everybody

When I go to home files all of the hidden folders are in view. I can hide them with ctrl H or via view options but once I leave and re-enter the hidden folders are all back again. How can I keep them hidden?

Thanks..

Open dconf. Then navigate to org-> gtk-> settings-> file-chooser-> uncheck 'show-hidden'.

$ dconf-editor

try this go to your home folder than hit control h. once the hidden folders are showing right click your mouse and then uncheck show hidden files. i just checked and works at my end. good luck

Have you tried to change the settings in Files -> Preferences and untick Show hidden and bakup files?

Thanks for the replies, guys. I tried fantabs idea first and it worked a dream so didn't get round to testing the other suggestions, but thanks for all the top tips.
