10.6: A Service to show/hide hidden files
Authored by: smccandlish on Sep 20, '11 06:10:20PM

You may find that with this and any other script that stops and restarts the finder that you need to introduce a short delay between these two actions to avoid a "Finder got an error: Connection is invalid. (-609)" problem. E.g., in Automator, use the "Pause" action for, say, 5 seconds. Try taking it down to 4, then 3, etc. until you find the shortest delay that will work without generating this error.
