It would be very nice if this get in to thunar, even if in hidden settings. Although it could be in the normal settings in thunar i guess?
I use Nemo (I'm switching to xfce) and dot files and folders are sorted After other files and there is no setting to toggle that as far as i know, so how do they do it?
In other words give users choices so the user can decide what he/she wants
I don't really know how much work this would be though
