OK.
We currently don't have ability to hide particular file. That is, there
is no way to somehow mark file hidden at the kernel level. If I am
allowed to humbly voice my opinion, usages shown by participants of this
thread (trimming down list of files visible in the GUI front-end) should
be done at the user level. In UNIX ls(1) command hides dot files for
ages.
On the other hand, some file system objects (pseudo files
http://namesys.com/v4/pseudo.html) are not shown by the readdir(2). But
this is to keep various utilities like cp(1) and friends from trying to
read from them.
