Pretty sure I read something recently about a change in Dolphin and other KDE file apps meaning these backup files will now be hidden by default. Do you see them if you do Ctrl-H?
Yes I do see them with Ctrl-H. Not a big deal, but some time ago one of the docs I was working on got corrupt and I couldn't find the backup. It didn't crossed my mind to look for hidden files. Redo the work was the only option at that time.

It might be an exercise in futility, but perhaps give the developers some feedback. Maybe even raise a bug a concerning the decision. Or mention the issue in https://discuss.kde.org/. You can also directly question the developers (at least one of them) by commenting at Adventures in Linux and KDE blog https://pointieststick.com/ As a user of Open Source, I feel I should at least participate at that level. I've used all those channels in the past. Maybe it won't change any minds on the matter, but it might give them pause for thought. The KDE developers are doing a bit of house cleaning with the Plasma Qt6. Raising awareness of such issues might save us some future pain. Michael
