Since the GUI-side of OSX treats all dot-files (such as .htaccess
) as hidden, it doesn't display them in any of the graphical UI:s, e.g. Finder or the Open-dialogues.
How can I open a dot-file (.htaccess
in this case) in a graphical editor, without doing that thing for all hidden files, universally and without going through Terminal.app?
Edit: I'm on Leopard, if that makes a difference.
Edit2: TextWrangler and TextMate seem to have features that allow you to open hidden files, which partly answers my question.
