Im using the new Kubuntu 8.04 KDE 4, 64 Bit version. My problem is that
I have external partitions and hard drives with the ntfs format, and
when mounting those drives to a Windows system, Windows will make hidden
"Recycler" and "System Volume Information" folders. Sure Windows sucks,
but I dont want to delete these folders because it will mess up the
drive with Windows when I need to access it through Windows. I would
request that these two folders be hidden by default in Dolphin. There
should of course be some optional way to show the folders, but Ill leave
that up to you guys to figure out. I believe it will be safer and much
better looking to have those folders hidden by default.

Linux (and Unix in general) has a convention that filenames beginning
with a dot are considered hidden files. I suggest that you file a bug
with the developers of the NTFS file system and request that they follow
this convention, as this has been standard behaviour for decades and
only MS filesystem conflict. Please post a link to the bug that you file
so that we can follow it.

Does Windows Explorer display hidden *nix files by default when browsing
ext3 and other filesystems? Can this be configured in Windows Explorer?
