Extension for Nautilus to hide files without renaming them
Nautilus Hide is a simple Python extension for the Nautilus file manager that
adds options to the right-click menu to hide or unhide files.
.
The extension hides the files without renaming them (i.e. without prefixing a
dot ('.') or suffixing a tilde ('~')).
It does that by adding their names to the folder's '.hidden' file, which
Nautilus reads to hide the listed files the next time you open or refresh the
folder.
