Speaking of which, nowadays KDE hides files with these extensions for some reason

I never really have hidden files off, so I wasn't even aware dolphin does this lol

I absolutely despise the idea of "hidden" files. I don't understand the purpose of not showing them.

It's useful to hide clutter. It's easier to look at the file you care about when the file~, file.old, .file.swp, #file#, file,v, etc. aren't in the way.
