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? The Finder does not check folders of open windows to see if they had changed, as an intentional design decision. Until Tiger, the Finder was not notified when folders changed contents. Thus, the problem is there until Tiger. There were a bunch of workarounds I saw, but the only ones I remember worked because the user did some stuff. I don't recall a trick that a program can do to convince the finder to update a folder window. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
