In Ubuntu by default file browser will be hide folders from user if its name starts with ‘.‘ (dot). In this post I will list the different ways to see the hidden folders in Ubuntu.
1)Command line fans can use ‘ls -al‘ command to see the hidden folders.
GUI Fans can follow any one of these listed below:
2) Select Applications > System Tools > Configuration Editor
If System Tools doesn’t exists in Applications menu activate it as follows.
Do a right click at the left end of your gnome panel and select “Edit Menus” option. A window will appear in that check “System Tools option”. (See the image for reference).
Now select Applications > System Tools > Configuration Editor.
In the Configuration Editor window select desktop > gnome > file_views from the left column .
After that check show_hidden_files option. (See the image for reference).
3) Next is by navigating into the folder in which hidden folders exists and select View > show hidden files from the file browser menu.
4)But an easy shortcut exists for this. Navigate into the folder in which hidden folders were present and press ‘ctrl+h‘ and thats it, now file browser displays all folders starts with .(dot). Press ‘ctrl+h‘ again to hide the folders.
Do you know any other way ?
