 The {gui>File} menu item is a context menu, meaning the entries you see on it will differ depending on whether the currently selected item is a folder or a file.

 Most of the items on the View menu are either self-explanatory or have been discussed in the [[:xfce:thunar:the-file-manager-window|The File Manager Window]] section. There are just a couple that deserve further explanation below.

 === Show Hidden Files ===
-Hidden files typically contain settings and configuration data which don't normally need to be accessed. For this reason and as a safety precaution to prevent their accidentally being moved, changed or deleted, they do not show up by default in the file manager. Check this option to make them visible. They can be identified by the dot prefix in the filename (e.g., ''.nvidia-settings'').

+The setting as well toggled the visibility of backup files, which are created temporary by some applications. These are suffixed with a tilde (E.g. ''file.txt~'').
+Check this option to make both sort of files visible.

 ===== The Go Menu =====
-The {gui>Go} menu provides options for navigating through the file system. Most of these options can be accessed more directly by clicking on the [[:xfce:thunar:the-file-manager-window#side_pane|Side Pane]] or the [[:xfce:thunar:the-file-manager-window#location_selector|Location Selector]], or by using keyboard shortcuts. There are, however, a couple of exceptions to this rule. You will notice in the example below that there are some folders showing in the {gui>Go} menu which aren't showing in the Side Pane. One of them is the special //Templates// folder (which isn't one of the default PLACES in the Side Pane). The other two, //Development// and //Reports//, are user-defined shortcuts which have been hidden using the Side Pane right-click menu. As you can see, the {gui>Go} menu overrides that setting and displays all shortcuts.
