Show Hidden Files on Your Mac
September 11th, 2009Here’s a nifty little application that saves you from the drudgery of interfacing with the terminal on your Mac to show hidden files. Sure you can open Terminal and enter:
defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
and then:
killall FINDER
Enter again.
However, you can drag this app to your dock and do this with just a few clicks. For those of us that need to locate .htaccess files, but don’t want to look at .DS_Store files all day – this is a great productivity enhancer.
“If you are a webmaster, software developer, or advanced user, you may find yourself having to frequently switch between SHOW ALL FILES and HIDE HIDDEN FILES on your Mac. This can be done with a few lines in UNIX… but why not save yourself the time and use this free desktop application.”
