Houdini		Feb 20 2009

WKDIXON  I just used Houdini 2.1 on my Mac Pro 10.5.6

It showed me the hidden files but whenever I try to delete one a new file takes its place.

I now have a DS Store file on my Desktop that I can't remove.

Plus, all of my folders have reverted to "View As Icon"!

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Thanks

TAOEFFECT  The .DS_Store file is a hidden file. Since Houdini reveals these files you now see it. The .DS_Store file has a special purpose for the Finder. It places one in every folder that has any special configurations on it.

When you deleted your .DS_Store file, you deleted those configurations as well, and that's why your view settings were reverted back to default.

This is not a bug in Houdini, it's just how the Finder works.
