Show invisible files/folders

Post by WilliamL »

Last night I threw together a little program to copy the Info.plist and the Rescources folder to the .app. (because a default .plist erases my .plist when the .app is created). I used OpenFileRequester() to find the files and PathRequester() to get the resources path. The only problem is.. that the destination file/folder is in the .app and is INVISIBLE (as in Show Package Contents).

So I can't get the destination file/path.. any ideas?

Hi William,

There is a tool called "Invisibility Toggler". Google it. It's a nice tool, I use it a long time.
It toggles the visibility, so you can see ALL invisibel files :-)
