Comment 7 for bug 756280

@Gauco:
"That's the point of recent files, but I don't think it applies to hidden ones."
Sorry, I do not understand this statement.
I still do not get any difference between a "normal" recently used files feature (in an application or like in classical Gnome) displaying "hidden" files and the one in unity. "Hidden" files should be called "hidden" (with quotation marks) because it takes e.g. one Strg+H to display them in nautilus, a better name is "dotfiles" because -- at least in my point of view -- their only purpose is to hide the configuration files and directories in the default listing the home dir (or stuff like .svn, .git or .lock-#3245~ in any other dir). I think they were never intended for "privacy". Actually, I think the proposed patch even somewhat fails for this use case: (non-hidden) files in hidden directories will still be displayed.
Anyway, maybe I'll raise this question on a mailing list, this does not seem to be the right place (and if anyone is flaming, this seems to be me because the general consensus is against me ;-)).
