As I said, Doug pointed out and my testing showed that editting /.hidden no
longer works. TinkerTool is a bit of a blunt instrument for this if you only
want to make some files/folders visible.
I tend to use Command-shift-G in the Finder, then type the path I want. For
those people who want to make aliases to some hidden files/folders manually,
the easiest way is probably (using /etc as an example):
switch to the Finder
command-shift-g and type /tmp
command-option-click on the icon in the /tmp window's title bar, and
drag to where you want the alias.
If you want to script it:
tell application "Finder"
make new alias at desktop to POSIX file "/tmp"
-- compiles to
-- ...at Desktop to file "HD_name:private:tmp"
end tell
But I'm still looking for the file that will just let me make, say, /etc
visible -- it must be there *somewhere*...
