filosofem Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Hi! I made this tiny script. It's shows and hide hidden files because i didn't know any good program. Just unpack and click it. If anyone want to mod this. go ahead .

mactoids Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Here's another AppleScript for showing hidden files. I got this script somewhere when I was running Tiger but it still works fine for me in Leopard. Run the script and a dialog box will pop up asking if you wish to show hidden or if already hidden, asking if you wish to rehide again.

Meowpard Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Yesterday I found this crazy show/hide widget. Don't blame me if don't see your desktop elements any more. It needs several attempts to work properly. I was in desperate need of showing some hidden linux files on an USB stick. After showing up (.filename) i renamed them to (filename) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/140323-show-hide-hidden-files-in-leopard/#findComment-1017111 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SticMAC™ Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Great Idea, BUT.......... After installation, working with it is a pain!! If you have four or five folders open and you attempt to do a Show/Hide with it, it closes all the Folders!(wth?) Attached is a similar app, that when activated, merely changes from Hide to Show and keeps all current folders open. Maybe you can have a look inside to make yours the same!? On the installation: You HAVE to drag the unHidden.app to a folder on your HDD first, BEFORE dragging it up to the MenuToolbar AND you HAVE to eject the mounted unHiddenIT.dmg for it to work properly! Also(on a personal note) maybe the name should be "unHideIT" "hidden" is past tense, and there is no such word as "unhidden" and it looks dreadful on the toolbar with that name!?

SticMAC Thanks for you reply. 1.All the Folders closes because Finder must be restarted for changing status hidden files. 2.On the installation: As you see on picture, the app is dragging to the MenuToolbar from Utilities folder, but not from mounted unHiddenIT.dmg. But Thanks, you remark will help somebody. 3.That's right the name of app is changed. 4.You attach not work for me.

kmikase Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 you can also use the app "invisible" . It works just great. You just have to drop the file you wanna hide into the app Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/140323-show-hide-hidden-files-in-leopard/#findComment-1072105 Share on other sites More sharing options...
