Agurchik Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Heres the easiest solution: Drag the "make_hidden" folder on your desktop, open it and run start. Tere ull be able to set visible or invisible attribs. USE THE NEW ONE FROM THE@nd POST.

Agurchik Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 yes, i do understand what u want, u don't have the latest mac os patch form apple, with latest one comes the ruby. Ok, just download rubycocoa from here, install it (ruby cocoa- its a programming language) and run the program u wish to download at the bottom, cause previous works, but i changed some stuff. i keep it for myself- its more easy to use, then always do the same stuff... rubycocoa- http://www.soft32.com/download/63-187037/R....4universal.dmg P.S. download the new, updated version. Maybe i should make a GUI for it- ok then latter ill do. for now, download the newest version (drag the FapsDev icon to DropBox in the DMG file, provided here)- see the uploaded file. ITS STRONGLY recomended to use the new one- cause previous one isn't totally awesome!

Guest Ramm Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Adding a period will work fine, because, in the system, the filename is still mach_kernel. Adding the period just makes it hidden, and then the period is removed, but it remains hidden.

mobyte Posted June 8, 2007 Author Share Posted June 8, 2007 arf, the adding period before the name is not accepted by system... message: this character is reserved by the system. another solution ?
