Create short-name invisible aliases for use in the Toolbar
Authored by: Frederico on Jun 16, '03 02:30:44PM

This is a slick hint; I'm almost embarrassed I didn't think of it myself. (;

Just one comment re: author's comment on other invisiblity methods:

Step three here is unnecessary; in the Finder GUI, just add the '.' to the front of your file name; you'll get a warning message, but Finder will allow you to make it invisible.

I think I may use this hint to effectively replace the Favorites folder, whose path-deflecting tendencies have frequently frstrated me. The only thing is that I really don't want 20-30 more items in my Finder Toolbar, even if they can be supressed to the submenu on the right side. If I come up with anything good, I'll repost.

Cheers, and Thanks to the author.
