Long time ago GNOME Files (Nautilus) had the ability to handle custom annotations attached to files and directories. This ability has slowly gone lost in the folds of time. Things however are rarely really unlearned, and an ability rarely goes away for good. Nautilus Annotations brings back Nautilus' annotation capabilities. It exploits the same machinery that was used back then: that of relying on GIO to store custom information about a file or a directory.
A simple Nautilus extension that adds “Hide” and “Unhide” to Nautilus right-click menu. Nautilus Hide does not add a leading dot to file names, but relies on Nautilus' ability to hide the files that are listed in a .hidden file. The extension erases the .hidden files when these are empty and is able to handle selections of files that are distributed across multiple locations.
