This script worked in earlier versions of OSX but now doesn’t in Mavericks. 

The error returned is:

(current date & time) “defaults[637:d07]
The domain/default pair of (com.apple.Finder,AppleShowAllFiles) does not exist” 

What exactly is changed in the dictionary for Mav that breaks this? 

Thanks
Dave
as noob


set dotVisible to do shell script "defaults read com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles"
if dotVisible = "0" then
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles 1"
else
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles 0"
end if
tell application "Finder" to quit
delay 1
tell application "Finder" to activate
