[enh] Make blend1 and blend2 files hidden by default
Closed, ArchivedPublic

Description

The piles and piles of "blend1" and "blend2" autosave files cluttering up my work folders have always annoyed me. Blender should at least provide an option to make its autosaves with the "hidden" flag set.

That is all. :-)

The files are hidden in default browsing for .blend files in Blender itself.
Hide them in other ways (like for OS or with a . before name) is not a good idea, that makes cleaning and finding files difficult. Now they're at least nicely listed next to the real files.
Or, how did you propose to hide them?
