DESCRIPTION
Invisibility Toggler enables you to view invisible files in the Mac OS X Finder.
The first time you run it, all invisible files will become visible. The next time you run it, invisible files will be hidden again.
Invisibility Toggler is fast, well-developed, remarkably easy to use, doesn't ask you for confirmation each time you run it, comes with complete source code which you can modify for your private use, and the author doesn't demand that you to pay anything to use it (although a small donation is suggested).
The author created Invisibility Toggler specifically because other free programs don't change the visibility setting automatically; they prompt the user first, forcing you to click on a button when all you really want is quick results. If you want to be prompted before the setting is changed, you can either use someone else's program, or if you feel comfortable editing AppleScript code, you can modify the included source code to suit your needs (refer to the "Source Code License" section of the included Read Me).
WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.1:
- Fixed an issue that would cause Invisibility Toggler to display the message "An error occurred while trying to read the current visibility setting" if the user account had never previously been configured to display invisible files in the Finder
- Made improvements to help the Finder keep track of which windows were open and their positions on screen before quitting (this still doesn't work perfectly; see Known Issues)
- Fixed a potential issue that could have prevented Invisibility Toggler from toggling the visibility of hidden files on first run in rare circumstances
- Other code improvements
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.0 or newer (tested with Mac OS X 10.4.x Tiger on PowerPC and Intel)
