directory: Include hidden files in properties window totals #1684

Closed wesinator closed 1 year ago

wesinator commented 1 year ago

This change will make the directory properties info always count "hidden" dotfiles in the count and size. based on https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/merge_requests/821/diffs

fixes #527, fixes #738

Not tested, but I just got extremely surprised and worried that folder size doesn't take hidden files into account, so I'm all for a fix.

This said, this topic is apparently somewhat controversial on the Nautilus side, see https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/638

Colomban, thanks for taking a look. Yes, I saw that. I opted for a quick fix to get some traction on this,and I think this proposed change is better than the current state. We can fix the 'bug' and then work out optimal implementation. https://github.com/mate-desktop/caja/issues/738#issuecomment-285326038 has some good suggestions
