[Bug 179907] Re: Ubuntu should not always show NTFS system and hidden files and directories

Which doesn't make any point here.

have a dot prefix if you copy the file.

But that's just a suggestion, not the request and the reason to close
the bug. Ironically, as Jean-Pierre said, the NTFS-3G guys have
implemented the feature, and Ubuntu would just need to make use of that
option.

Title:
  Ubuntu should not always show NTFS system and hidden files and
  directories

Status in “ntfs-3g” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ntfs-3g

  Ubuntu should hide NTFS system files by default, and allow to
  configure it to show them. The same for hidden files. It should
  consider not only ".file" to hide or show, but also the flag of hidden
  files on a NTFS partition.
