The "file manager" is an application. Changing its preferences shouldn't change
the behavior of linux itself.

put the files into tFiles
filter tFiles without ".*"

then put tFiles into a custom Answer File dialog

I don't think this qualifies as a bug. It doesn't seem that any application
should rely on the preferences of a different application.
