XUPPORT  This is a developer message to all users who have problems with invisible file.

1. This is not a bug at all - This is a feature.

In Xupport-Settings-Finder there is a option called "Show hidden files and folders". If this option is activated the Finder will display "all" files (including hidden system files as .DS_Store).

2. This option can easily be reset. Open Xupport and go to Settings-Finder, deactivate the "Show hidden files and folders" option or click the "Defaults" button. THEN restart the Finder (or the Computer) to make the changes take effect.

If you anyway have problems to make them invisible again, please contact me at http://www.applicorn.com.  (Version 3.4.2)

MACROXX  I have a problem with invisible files. Xupport made them visible, but it can't make them invisible again. I tried it several times, but Xupport always fails to make them invisible. Xupport also has problems finding the Terminal... I wonder where I have hidden it. Ohh, it's in the standard folder, I haven't moved the Terminal out of it. But Xupport keeps asking for the Terminal.

Xupport says it's the "swiss army knife" and that might be true, because both don't really work.

JOSHUA MCGLYN  I used Xupport 3.3 to hide icons from my desktop when I was using Tiger. I've upgraded to Leopard and I want to make icons visible on my desktop. Since Xupport is currently unavailable on Leopard, I can't restore the icons. I tried the uninstaller. Still not working. Any idea to resolve this problem? Thanks.  (Version 3.3.3)

MACRAT  Before I upgraded to 3.3.1, Xupport worked very well. However, the first time I used it after the upgrade, it gave me problems...After it finished, I had it set to restart. When my machine restarted, things were messed up. I couldn't use the mouse, PPPoE settings were gone, etc. etc....I'll uninstall it and go back to the previous version or just forget it.  (Version 3.3.1)
