[Bug 821146] [NEW] Marlin doesn't respect .hidden

 

Public bug reported:

I've started implementing an elementary os blueprint to restructure the
system, so that the root folder of the system would have folders like
/Applications, /Users, /System, etc.

I've done most of the work already but it's not working well under
Marlin, since it makes use of the .hidden file. This file has a list of
files and folders that should be hidden. Nautilus, for example, respects
this file and hides the folders I want.

Since Marlin is missing this feature, I can't finish my implementation.

It would be great if you could implement this feature sometime.

Thanks.
