To show all hidden files on CD-ROM drives or networked disks install this extension.
This allows to do some basic operations in the finder on hidden files, on hidden folders, or on files within hidden folders, such as :
- open (by a simple doucle-click),
- copy (dragging, ...),
- make aliases,
- and many other things like on normal files with the finder.
You can also see the hiddens files in all application's dialogs.
To temporarily not show hidden files (normal behavior), hold down the Caps Lock key when opening a folder in the Finder.
Caveats (same as CDIconKiller 1.3)
-------
Works “as is” with Apple’s CD-ROM driver and networked disks.
To let it work with non-Apple’s CD-ROM drivers (or other drivers), modify the resource 'STR#' with ID=128 to include your driver name.
Q.: HELP! What’s my driver name? I couldn’t find it on my passport!
A. #1: open your CD driver extension with ResEdit, open the 'DRVR' resource type, get info, copy the driver name into the 'STR#' 128 in CDIconKiller.
A. #2: (for Power Users) drop into Macsbug, type 'drvr', select the right driver, go to ResEdit as before.
Works under System 6 :-)
Warnings
--------
- you can also see systems files like "Desktop DB", "Desktop DF", and all "Icon" Files. These files remain visible after a copy if they have been gotten visible (so to be allright, keep Caps Lock key down to copy nested folders).
