Viewing hidden files on Mac OS X

On this topic:


Enable scanning of hidden files in Mac OS X can be quite a simple command. In the terminal we enter:

Code:
Defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true
Killall finder

If you are tired of this "feature" in the terminal, enter:

Code:
Defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool false
Killall finder

Another method, While in the Finder, click:

Code:
Cmd + Shift + G

And enter the path to the folder we want to look into.
