show hidden files does not show .~lock
Thunar 4.20.5 OS Manjaro XFCE latest updates
I recently had an error with Libre Office: "the lock file could not be created for exclusive access by libreoffice..." Suggested remedy was to make a copy of the file and delete the problematic file with its .~lock file
At first Thunar 4.20.5 didn't show any file in the directory and prompt an error lock(sorry didn't thought to screenshot). So I thought to be safe, to shutdown and restart. Same issue. I first thought I lost all the directory. Then ls -a and could see all the files in Terminal. After closing and restarting Thunar, I could now show see the files. I then add the show hidden files options in Thunar. closing and restarting Thunar, does not show as ls -a reports a file named:
.~lock.NAME_OF_THE_LO_FILE
Expected outcome
At least when in mode hidden files, Thunar ought to show the hidden lock file.
Suggestion: does the tilda "~" character is posing problem to Thunar?
What happened first with Thunar didn't show any files in the directory and prompt an error, don't know how to reproduced, but thought worthwhile to report it.
Thanks
