Setting no, but dialog (with don't show again) yes IMHO. 
Hidding files/folders by writing a dot in front of the name is not obvious, and doing
it without knowing it can be really frustrating (where is my file - omg Dolphin removed
it!). So I think it's a good improvement for "newcomers" from a usability point of view.

IMHO the new file dialog should also provide a confirmation box in such a case.

Extending the backend by implementing the same confirmation dialog in KIO::moveAs() could be an idea for the future.
