            Bug ID: 443639
           Summary: Add ability to hide file/folder from the context menu
                    [feature request]
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 21.08.1
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

You can have files/folders that you do not normally want to see. Such as for
example, "__pycache__" folders near python projects.

For this example, it is more logical to have a global hide patterns, and there
is already a bug report for this: #3212 (wow! I see such short bug number for
the first time! It is from 2000.)

But I am speaking about hiding at folder scope. It would be nice to have
ability to quickly hide such files/folders with context menu.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a folder where you have some non-dot file/folder that you want to be
hidden. For example, your folder contains "__pycache__" folder.
2. Click with right mouse button on that "__pycache__" folder.
3. Observe the menu entries

OBSERVED RESULT
There is no ability to make it hidden.

EXPECTED RESULT
There should be an entry "Hide file/folder". After user clicks it, dolphin
creates ".hidden" file in the current folder if it does not already exist, and
adds the name of file/folder to that file.

Workaround solution:
Prerequisite is that user knows about ".hidden" file. Create a ".hidden" file
in the folder. Open it and type the name of the file/folder to hide. Then
__pycache__ folder becomes hidden.
