putting a period (".") in front of the name did it. Thanks a lot.

If you have the devel tools installed then you can set the invisible
flag, with the command line app SetFile, also I think you can also in
unix set files invisible by adding them to some file called something
like .invisible

Good morning.
I'm trying to make a file invisible by this:
tell application "Finder"
set theItem to choose file
set the visible of theItem to false
end tell
After execution I get an error: Finder has got an error: visible
of
alias \"MacOSX:Users:ronny:Desktop: Read Me\" cannot be set to
false"
What am I doing wron?
Don't think you can set the "visible" of a file.
This is a an *alternative* to make them invisible/visible (for OS X):
tell application "Finder"
set x to choose file with prompt "choose a file"
set y to name of x
if item 1 of y is not "." then
set name of x to "." & y
else
set y to items 2 thru (count of items in y) of y as text
set name of x to y
end if
end tell
Regards
