Re: Invisible dir in Finder but not kIsInvisible

Interestingly, an old app that I wrote (but no longer have the source for) does not think net and dev should be visible. As far as I remember all it checked was the LSInfo, the FSCatalogInfo, the presence of the '.' prefix or the /hidden file.

Since its not one of the last two, I think it must be one of the first two. Perhaps on some systems, these files have the wrong bits set somewhere.

Still the dev and net(i'm on leopard) folder are showing up.
Any idea what could be missing ?

Thanks,
