            Bug ID: 465016
           Summary: Dolphin started treating files/folders with hidden
                    property set in NTFS files the same as any Linux
                    hidden file/folder
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 22.12.1
          Platform: Neon
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
The files and folders set to hidden in NTFS files/folders are now not shown if
you don't enable "Show hidden files", and once you enable that option, they
appear grayed out.
It seems there's no option to change that behavior.

This is Dolphin specific since if you list the files in a terminal (without -a
option) they are treated as not hidden files/folders
I also changed the driver back from ntfs to ntfs-3g to see if that made a
difference but no, there wasn't any.

If there are people to whom this is useful, shouldn't all the rest of us have
an option to change that behavior?

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set a file or folder as "hidden" in a NTFS drive (I do it from my Windows
dual boot, don't know how to do it in Linux)
2. Open the containing folder in Dolphin 

OBSERVED RESULT
If the option "Show hidden files" is not set, you won't see the file/folder

EXPECTED RESULT
I expect to see the file as any non "dot hidden" Linux file.
