Mac OS X – Hidden Files and the Finder
Posted by pebuchmann_super on 21 Jul 2009 | Tagged as: Mac OS X
Found this trick to make hidden files and directories visible in the finder. Open a terminal and type defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES Of course when you want to hide the files, substitute YES with NO. After that, restart the finder; on Leopard that means Apple > Force Quit > Finder (relaunch).
