i created a suitcase client installer. the problem i ran into is that iceberg doesn't "see" invisible files. i needed to include the:

is there a way to get iceberg to "see" invisible files? i have to create an extensis portfolio installer that also uses an invisible serial number file. would rather not go the ugly route if i can get iceberg to see the files that need to be included in the installer.

On Mac OS X 10.2 and earlier, you can do that easily since invisible files are "visible" in the Add Files... dialog. On Mac OS X 10.3 and later, you can do that this way: 1. Choose Archive > Add Files... 2. Type Command + Shift + G to display the Go to sheet/dialog 3. Type the absolute path of the invisible file 4. Click Go/OK. You're done. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
