Title: Re: Hidden Folders
I use the following, I compiled the script as a standalone application. Sometimes its easier to work in the GUI of OS X, instead of the command line, as time allows.
**USE WITH CAUTION...as this will display EVERY file/directory on the Hard Disk.
tell application "Finder" to quit
display dialog "Show Hidden Files..." buttons {"ON", "OFF"}
copy the result as list to {buttonpressed}
try
if the buttonpressed is "OFF" then do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles OFF"
if the buttonpressed is "ON" then do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles ON"
end try
tell application "Finder" to launch
Run the script to both enable AND disable invisibles.
Regards,
Jake
