Grrr! Hidden Files
Authored by: tomdarch on Jan 22, '02 12:50:53PM

I installed 10.1 last week (I had to repartition the drive to do the install). I've been replacing my important files and I spent an hour last night looking for the damn Stickies file! Why is this a 'hidden' file? Goes to show that I should have been looking with the command line with ls -alF rather than Sherlock!

Actually, I just looked more closely at Sherlock's search options and when I turned on "is invisible" it showed up! Now the problem is that you can either search for "visible" or "invisible" but not _all_ files!
