Mandrake
Another in a family of programmer's tools.
This is a 'Drag and Drop' Application that changes the 'Visible' flag in any file selected or in any file dropped onto it.
Why ?
Use it to hunt down Disk filling Temp Files etc, or hide a project from roaming eyes.
• REMOVE OLD DESKTOP Files from Hard and Floppy Disks. !! •
• For System 7.0+, but Does also work with older systems.
• Mandrake sets the 'Visible' flag in the target file which tells the Finder not to display or use the target file.
You can reverse the action by Double clicking on Mandrake's Icon and a Dialog box will show you ALL of the file in you Mac.
How to use it, step by step.
To use Mandrake :
• Drag your file onto the Mandrake icon. Your file will be
feeblewhitzed and returned to it's original position. ( but may not see it )
• You may have to close and re-open the current folder to see a change.
To use Mandrake on system 6:
• Shift-Select both Mandrake and the target file.
• Double- click on either Icon.
• Your file will be feeblewhitzed and returned to it's original position.
• You may have to close and re-open the current folder to see a change.
To reverse the action of Mandrake:
