I was <em style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: normal;">really</em> expecting the .hidden file to support patterns. If the current specification does not allow it, what is the actual use case then? Wouldn't it make sense to discuss adding patterns?</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">Directory reading is already unbelievable slow due to several levels of abstraction, caching, and sorting, and checking if an entry contains a * or ? character before matching should be worth considering the usefulness. Additionally, that needs only be done if the .hidden file is present at all.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">I cannot see how anyone would <em style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: normal;">not</em> try this feature with <em style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: normal;">~ or </em>.bak or *.o entries there, and reporting a bug that "it didn't work".</p></pre>

Sometimes, renaming is not even possible.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">Being able to use patterns would be great, but I don't know how big would the additional overhead be. Probably not that much. And like you say, if there's no <em style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: normal;">.hidden</em> file, there's no additional overhead.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">But then, if implemented, the KDE "specification" of <em style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: normal;">.hidden</em> files would be different from the others.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">Even if it is decided to implement patterns, I think it should be done on a different patch and commit, so that, in case of errors or performance issues, it can be reverted easily.</p></pre>

But is there really a formal specification, something from freedesktop.org, or did other file managers just copy the feature? In the latter case, I really suggest that we just add pattern support there, and others, again, are free to copy the feature. There is no harm, if other file managers do not support the feature yet. Dolphin long did not hide the files, either, and it was never considered a bug, but only a missing feature.</p></pre>

Dolphin was still using KDE4/Qt4 version of the library, so I only tested using the desktop folder widget, and "folder desktop".<br style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: normal;" />
It worked correctly when I pointed it to "~" and "~/Desktop" (I added ".hidden" there).<br style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: normal;" />
However, it didn't work when I pointed it to the "Desktop folder" (the default option, not the custom location "~/Desktop").<br style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: normal;" />
More testing is required.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">The version for KDE4/Qt4 submitted to Bug #246260 was tested in Kubuntu 14.04, and it worked everywhere I tested (Dolphin, open/save dialogs, folder widget and detailed/tree view in Dolphin).<br style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: normal;" />
It wasn't an intensive test, though.</p></pre>
