But what u said about creating a file using "." is a good idea.

But it'll be good if we have a nice GUI based App for this

so tell me are u going to do something about this App???
Check the alternative file managers, they should be able to rename files to .names. I hope that's enough GUI. You still didn't answer from whom you want to hide the things, hidden folders may work when hiding from kids and some friends but not from the police or CIA or anyone using his brain (well, I know this is opposed to most police men) (think of photorec, it will copy all images to the computer from a device, even many deleted ones).
And if you want the GUi so badly (which seems to be the case, as you bump this thread everyday (bumping is rude, too)) there are two possibilities:
  • Create the app yourself, with things like the QT SDK even monkeys can write N900 apps
  • Wait for someone to make it, but they won't make it faster if you ask every hour. So, really, please wait but don't bump every hour.

Well, "cute photos, if you know what I mean"
Seems that we don't know what he ment.

Peng (should be a shooting sound). Where did you get that you can't create a file beginning with a dot in linux? The N900 doesn't allow it because it would hide the file and then you could't get it back with this file manager, that's just noob protection. A simple "mv file .file" in any linux terminal on any linux computer in the world will hide a file. But try creating a folder named con on a windows machine
