Is it possible to toggle hidden files without relaunching Finder?
- by Andrei
There are several ways how to toggle hidden files - via a shell command, or AppleScript, or Automator action, or even a Dashboard widget. All of them close and reopen Finder windows, which is quite annoying.
On the other hand, for the Open File dialog one can easily toggle hidden files by pressing Command+Shift+Period.
Is it possible to avoid relaunching Finder?
