Making files invisible
To make files invisible, if you have the developer tools installed, use the SetFile command line tool in /Developer/Tools/SetFile. (I have put a symbolic link in /usr/local/bin so that I can type "setfile" from anywhere to access the tool.)
There is a hint somewhere on this site with a more full description of SetFile's functions (you can search for it), but, to make a file invisible, type:
/Developer/Tools/SetFile -a V /path/to/file-Alex Hill
Making files invisible
to find out about its options, just call it with "--help".
Making files invisible
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) |
