option to not display hidden files doesn't apply directly after rename

Bug Description

when creating a new file, or renaming an existing file on a remote FS (ftp), to a hidden file name (starting with a .) the file remains vissible with its old name, and clicking on it gives the expected "file unavailable" error.

Files which are being renamed to a hidden filename should be made invissible on "save".

Refreshing nautilus removes the file icon.

Ok, i did a quick test.

Creating a file does what is expected, it creates the file in nautilus with a nice content displaying thumbnail.
Renaming it to a hidden file however, does not remove the file from the view, but leaves the file name as it was clickable.

An improvement over 5.10 is that it now can be clicked, and nautlius will magically open the hidden file instead of the visible filename. (so the underlying link is being updated)
