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).
