Triggering it will open the truelibrary folder.

Isn"t it a neat scheme ?

What do you achieve by hiding the library and then revealing it with an alias? 

What’s the point of hiding the User library but not hiding the System library, which is FAR more dangerous for users to muck around in?
 
Since saving items in the ~/Library/Scripts folder is a pain through applications' ‘Save As’ menus if the User library is hidden, the best solution IMO, is simply to make the user library permanently visible (it should never have been hidden in the first place, it is the *users* library, after all!!). 

In Terminal just paste this line and hit ‘return’:

chflags nohidden ~/Library

Problem solved. Permanently.

(you can undo that command if you should wish with ‘chflags hidden ~/Library’ )


What you describe as "permanently" is in fact "temporarily" because the folder will be hidden again after every system update.
The alias will be permanently visible.


The global Library status is different. You are required to type a password to validate a change so you are supposed to be intelligent enough to don't make a foolish one.

When your UserLibrary is open, you may change every thing as you want.

Two ways to try to reduce the dangerous actions.
