Hi there, is there a way to make the /opt folder visible in the Finder? I know, there are some tools around, which I would like to avoid and of course I could always browse through it in my Terminal... I was just wondering. Cheers, Thorsten.
Opening a Finder window of the current directory from within a Terminal window, can be performed by typing "open .". Make the Finder show all files and directories: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE killall Finder To go back to normal view, retype the above commands, but type FALSE at the end of the first line.

Actually, there was supposed to be a carriage return between TRUE and killall Finder. John

sudo /Developer/Tools/SetFile -a v /opt This should work, it just removes the "Invisible" flag on the directory. You might need to relaunch Finder afterwards. Regards, Rainer
