[QUOTE="RChickenMan, post: 240466, member: 13080"] Finder confuses me. OS X is unix. Okay, fine, unix with some pretty colors. Same thing. In unix, the way to denote a "hidden" file is to precede the file name with a period. That's it. But, for some reason, finder considers some additional files to be "hidden" as well. I also can't find a way to view these hidden files (or actual unix-style hidden files, preceeded by a period) in finder. Apparently the only way to navigate my file system for real, and without third-party software, is to open up a terminal and do it the old-fashioned way. [/QUOTE]
