Firefox + Open file dialog box + hidden files (Kubuntu 20.10)
by vmelkon from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5GSRS)
Allo all,
I have Firefox 87.0 but I don't think the version matters. I also have Kubuntu 20.10 but I had 18.04 before and the problem was present.
The open file dialog box varies between applications.
For example, the look is very different than from LibreOffice and KolourPaint and Krita.
LibreOffice and KolourPaint and Krita have more of a Win XP style. Also, they don't show hidden files.
Firefox's open dialog box looks different and shows the hidden files.
Is there a way to make it hide the hidden files?
Searchmonkeys dialog box is similar to that of Firefox. Again, how to make it hide the hidden files?
