does anyone know how to view hidden directories like usr/bin/,
var/, etc. in the Finder? it's a pain to have to go to Terminal
all the time to work with these directories and their files.
Rename the .hidden file that is in the root of the harddisk.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1
A slightly more elegant way of doing this (IMHO) is to use
PropertyListEditor to add the Property AppleShowAllFiles (with class
'Boolean' and Value 'Yes') to the com.apple.finder.plist file in an
individual users Preferences folder.
(/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist)
In this way the Finder just needs to be restarted, no sudo'ing is needed
every time you wish to view the files and it only affects a single user
(useful on multi-user or networked machines).
Hope this helps ;)
Cheers
