Description

Hello,

I've got an idea now that i switch to linux.

I, as a user, should not be able to see files and folder set as root permissions if "show hidden files" is not checked.

What do you think ?

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified, so first clarify the intended UNIX permission behavior and how it relates to the existing “show hidden files” setting. Trace the file-manager visibility and permission-handling entry points, then define completion as consistent behavior for root-owned or otherwise inaccessible files on UNIX systems.
