Comment 43 for bug 39376

@David: I'm not sure honestly speaking about this issue. I don't think the solution is yet another menu entry "[ ] Show backup files". E. g. the next request might be "please also allow to hide Amaroks *.m3u files" or "Digikams *.db" files.

What might a nice solution would be providing a general filter string per directory. This could be stored inside the .directory entry and filtered on application side. So we would have a generic solution that does not only work for backup files. Any thoughts?
