Nautilus always shows hidden files

Nautilus always shows me hidden files and I am unable to disable show hidden files.

Solutions described in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1273939 does not fix my problem.

$ gsettings get org.gnome.nautilus.preferences show-hidden-files

shows me false

I am running,
GNOME Shell: 3.12.2-1
Nautilus: 3.12.0

Any pointers?

Not sure how this key changed all of a sudden.

Re: Nautilus always shows hidden files

I had the same error for the second time now. For me the fix (I had already forgotten again) is, disabling to show hidden files in the file chooser. Of course this only works with the gtk3 file chooser.
