Shortcut To Show / Hide Hidden Files In OS X

Posted on 18/01/2009 under Computing

Working with OS X is a pleasure for me, but there are some things that really frustrate me, like having no easy way to show/hide hidden files. Whenever I wanted to do this in the past I had to first Google it, then open up terminal and change the Finder config before relaunching Finder: 
defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
But no more! Tim Fletcher has written a small application that can be dragged into your finder toolbar which runs the command. So no more Googling necessary. See his page here and download it for yourself: http://www.timothyfletcher.com/journal/posts/finder-button-to-showhide-hidden-files-in-os-x Thanks Tim!
