Not being quite sure of the ~ notation, I've been searching
everywhere and with every search tool I can find -- and I haven't managed
to come upon any thunarrc anywhere. (I'm not sure, btw, whether xfce is
running thunar or something else.) I found in several (apparently
different) places files called thunar-settings or the like; but I didn't
find anything about dot- or hidden files there.
Actually, I believe it's in Settings Editor (found in Applications menu ->
Settings) under thunar -> last-show-hidden. But from my experience Thunar
remembers the setting when once changed (eg. by View -> Show Hidden Files).
Or are you on a live system without persistent storage? Even if thunar
used rc file for this (which I haven't checked) it would have been somewhere
in ~/.config or ~/.local, definitely not directly in ~ (the ~ means user
home, usually /home/username).
