Mavericks & Files

Hey, just here to let you know that I have upgraded to Mavericks, and although it was a little rocky at first, I'm now up to speed - the multimonitor display is a massive productivity boost, although I haven't figured to come up with a practical use for tags...

Anyway, the purpose of this post was to share with you all a little thing that I only just found out. With Mavericks, Apple changed the mechanism to edit the setting that allows you to show all files (including hidden) in the Finder. It took me awhile to find a resolution, but I found one in the end. Here's how to do it:

1. Open a Terminal prompt.

2. Enter the following:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -boolean false

and then enter

killall Finder

3. Enjoy being able to see all your stuff!
