I have somehow lost the visibility of my Documents folder in my Users folder.
(I think due to some applecscripting of a FileMaker file Documents .fp7)
I can see it using Invisibility Toggler , can
make an item in the Finder panel but of course
disappears when I reset visibility back to
normal
As I presume it has special privileges (Script
Debugger's Explorer view shows it not
editable), I have had not success scripting the
change:
tell application "Finder"
set fContainer to choose folder "Check folder properties"
set thisItemsInfo to info for fContainer
open fContainer
tell fContainer to set visible to true
end tell
I cannot work out a method of changing the setting from false to true
any ideas?
It is "System Events" not the "Finder" that sets visibility.
This works:
<script>
tell application "System Events" to set the
visible of (path to "docs") to true
</script>
