com3 Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 is there a program that would hide certain folders on my osx ? i dont want to add a (.) infront of the folder to hide it in os x, i want something like Magic Folders in Windows, where you cant find the folder anywhere. unless you press a secret combination on the keyboard then type in a password. is there something of the sort out there? I searched the forum without finding anything. Thanx. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/65707-a-program-that-hides-files/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayanami Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I had some kind of a vault program that did that, but I can't remember what it was called....

Suzuka Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Terminal, just type Setfile -a V then drag the app/document/folder into the terminal window EDIT: This will hide the file, but wont need the dot Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/65707-a-program-that-hides-files/#findComment-466359 Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Nonny Moose Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 If you make an encrypted disk image, then it will hide files without dotting them.

A Nonny Moose Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Try this Automator script. It might require some tweaking in order to get it just right.

A Nonny Moose Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 You'll need to save it as a plugin for the Finder. Then you just right click the folder and hit that Automator action. Hope it works. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/65707-a-program-that-hides-files/#findComment-471184 Share on other sites More sharing options...
