10.6: Toggle show/hide hidden files
Authored by: AragonX on Jul 21, '10 02:11:35PM
Here's the simple Apple Script I use to toggle show/hide hidden files:

tell application "Finder" to quit
try
	set t to (do shell script "defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles") as boolean
on error
	set t to false
end try
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles " & (not t)
tell application "Finder" to activate
