Show hidden files leaves some files hidden.
I used the terminal defauls command to show hidden files in the finder, but files starting with ._ are still hidden.
I think files with ._ signify the resource fork of a file when on a fat32 disk. This is a fat32 formated disk. I am running 10.4.11.
This is somewhat an fyi, but anyway of seeing these files starting with ._ in the finder?

Here is what I see in the finder.
I do see the ._ file when I copied ._Photos to my home folder.
