Hi Rick,

You might be able to do this with some AppleScript in your postflight. It looks like the Finder dictionary has an "update" command, which "Updates the display of the specified object(s) to match their on-disk representation". I don't know if this was available on Panther.

Hi folks,

In my installer I have some files that I am copying using the "cp" command in a script. This seems to work fine in Tiger, but in Panther (10.3.9) these files are invisible in the Finder. I can see them using "ls" in the Terminal app. They become visible after I relaunch the Finder, or restart the Mac.

Any ideas on why these files are invisible, and how to make the files visible right away?

Thanks!

     - Rick
