[QUOTE="technologist, post: 1068459, member: 4134"] One of the navigation options that I forgot is [b]Go > Go to Folder...[/b] which will let you type a path to an invisible folder. You can also force the Finder to display invisible files thusly: [code]defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles yes[/b] Then log out and log back in to relaunch the Finder * *[size=-2]Unix geeks will typically just kill the Finder to force it to relaunch. This always struck me as unnecessarily violent, but it is faster and doesn't involve losing your session[/size][/code] [/QUOTE]
