Don't forget that invisibliX is not a repair utility. It deals with hidden files, but it is highly recommanded to restrict its use to your user account file system.
invisibliX only check HFS+ hidden flag, but it exists many other ways to manage visibility status on Mac OS X (http://lists.apple.com/archives/cocoa-dev/2005/Jun/msg01436.html).
I will still have a look to symlinks and aliases resolution issue in the next release.
Thank you for feedback,

1) When I click on the invisibliX menubar icon on my 13" MacBook, the drop-down menu drops down as expected. But, after I've made my selection from it, the drop-down menu DOES NOT DISAPPEAR as it should! And because some applications have lots of menubar items that force out other left-of-center icons, in order to make invisibliX's stuck drop-down menu go away I must first switch to the Finder to make the invisibliX menubar icon reappear, and only then can I click on it to make its drop-down menu go away! This is a MAJOR PROBLEM, and I'm amazed that no one has yet commented about it here. It also happens on my 20" iMac, so it can't be a machine-specific issue or a problem that only affects small displays.
2) invisibliX's icon is the least important item in my 13" MacBook's menubar, so I want it to display as far to the left as possible in case some other app's menus force my left-most menubar icons out. Around half of the times that I enable the invisiblix menubar icon in its Preferences and then quit invisibliX, its menubar icon disappears! I have to go through the process one or two more times just to get the its menubar icon to stick! This also is a major problem, especially since its menubar icon never shows up in the same location after restarting my Mac -- sometimes it displays on the far left, and sometimes in the middle -- so I have to disable and then re-enable its icon at least once just to get it to display on the far left side of the menubar.
There's at least one other problem with this version, but I can't remember it just now. And since I'm also sending this info to invisibliX's devs, they'll have their hands full for awhile anyway.
My Macs:
A 2.4 GHz Core2Duo Unibody Aluminum 13" MacBook with 4 GB of RAM running Mac OS 10.6.3;
&
A 2.16 GHz Core2Duo 20" iMac with 2 GB of RAM also running OS 10.6.3.
I apologize for troubles you had with invisibliX Menu, and I hope this new 3.0 version will successfully reconcile you with my freeware. invisibliX Menu was entirely rewritten with no custom UI features, so its behavior should be more compliant with the system.
Thank you to use this app.
Best,
RW
