I use a number of tools that generate backup files ie "filename~" I'd love to have them treated as hidden files so that I don't have to see them when I'm ls ing dirs and looking on my desktop. I love having them, I just don't want to see them unless I am specifically looking for one. One place I especially hate this is on the desktop. I haven't found a way to enable an application to generate the backup file as ".filename~". Is there a way to KDE to make backup files, ie "filename~" treated as hidden files ? This has been bugging me for a long time. -- Kim Lux (Mr.) <lux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
