ShowLionLibrary1.0

Does a perfect job!

Just upgraded to Lion 10.7.2 and lost all other ways to show user library (option-clicking in the Go menu wouldn't work for me). Downloaded ShowLionLibrary, double-clicked on it, and voila - user library now showing up again. Thanks Tao Tek for providing this fix and thanks for making it available as a freebie! (Don't know why MacUpdate won't allow me to rate it 5 stars for Ease of Use; can't get any easier than double-clicking an icon does it?)

I have a completely different take on this. I find just pressing the icon doing what I want, is a great thing. It is my guess that is in fact what most other users, even them that describe themselves as "Power Users" would want to do. I find it helpful and the easiest and simplest way to get the user library. It does what I want it to feature wise, it just works, it has unbeatable value (its hard to beat free), and it is stable-it works every time. I suppose Apple hid the User Library folder because it may have confused many by having TWO Library folders, and it is true I need access less, but when I do need it, I need it. My thanks to the developer for sharing this simple and useful fix. I suggest he put it on the app store if he can. It is also my recommendation to Onyx developers (and the like) to make this feature available on their apps as well.
