Currently, the hidedotfiles mount option only has an effect when creating new files. Removing or adding the starting dot when moving or renaming files does not update the hidden attribute. Make hidedotfiles also set or uset the hidden attribute when a file gains or loses its starting dot by being moved or renamed.
