Making files invisible
Authored by: duien on Jun 24, '03 07:40:30PM

just a note - it seems that you cannot use the ~ in the path to the folder (don't know about with a file, haven't tried it)
i tried to set a folder in my home directory invisible with this command:
/Developer/Tools/SetFile -a V ~/bin/
and nothing happend, but when i used this:
/Developer/Tools/SetFile -a V /Users/emmann/bin/
it worked

that might be the trouble when you're editing the /.hidden file as well, don't know if you were trying to use ~
