All files become hidden in Nautilus file manager

Question

When I cd to a directory via Terminal and when I create a file every time via terminal, the file is not shown in Nautilus.

But when I put ls command, I can see the files on Terminal. But I cannot see them on Nautilus. What is the problem?

For example: gnuplot plot command creates a file name "End to End delay.png" and you can see that on terminal but that is not in nautilus.

I cannot see the newFile in nautilus but I can see that on terminal with ls command.

enter image description here

Thanks to Oli's command, The output of stat "End to End delay.png" is :

 File: ‘End to End delay.png’

It sounds suspiciously like you're looking in the wrong place. A couple of screenshots wouldn't hurt to confirm. — Oli, Jan 27 '15 at 12:42
@KasiyA I edited and I add the screenshot. no directory is not hidden — Mohammad Reza Rezwani, Jan 27 '15 at 12:55
So End to End delay.png is missing? Could you add the output of of stat "End to End delay.png" to the question please? And press F5 in Nautilus to make sure it's not just a refresh issue. — Oli, Jan 27 '15 at 12:57
@KasiyA oh I did not notice that :) . but I zoom my last picture that is a very small ">" not "." thank you very much for paying attention to my question. — Mohammad Reza Rezwani, Jan 27 '15 at 13:06

Sometimes Nautilus lags behind on filesystem changes. I don't think I've ever experienced a delay that allowed me to post a whole question but oh well.

You can refresh Nautilus by pressing F5, or changing directory and then back.
