            Bug ID: 509064
           Summary: Inconsistent reporting of non-empty directory as empty
                    with hidden files, in main display, tooltips and
                    properties.

SUMMARY

Non-empty directory with only hidden files is reported as empty, unless hidden
files are shown.
This results in a risk of opaque deletion of files when the "empty" parent
directory is deleted.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.
mkdir ~/notempty
touch ~/notempty/.hiddenfile
2. navigate to ~/notempty in dolphin 
3. toggle hidden files view on and off
right clicking on the new folder, selecting Properties simply states it
contains one item.

OBSERVED RESULT
 "Folder is empty" message when hidden, and the file appearing when hidden
files are revealed.
The tooltip rollover message (which is not default on my installation), states
"Hidden files: 1" but "Size: 0 items."


EXPECTED RESULT
In English would be something like "Folder contains hidden files. Click here to
reveal, are press <ctrl>-H" (or whatever configured keyboard shortcut exists)
Roll-over message Size: 1 item, Hidden files: 1 would be better?
right clicking on the new folder, selecting Properties states it contains one
item, and one hidden item (to be consistent with tooltip and reality).
