Q: Hidden files shown in Open/Save dialog box
Hi all,
In Finder hidden files are hidden, but whenever I open an open/save dialog box (eg. Microsoft Outlook-->new email-->attach file OR Firefox window--->webpage-->upload file) the hidden files are shown. ie. the default is hidden files ON rather than be hidden, but only for the open/save dialog box
Methods I have (unsuccessfully) tried to resolve this issue:
- terminal commands (including variations eg. False, No, 0) to show/hide all files in Finder --> REBOOT (command killall Finder, causes the preferences file (com.apple.finder.plist) to revert back to how it was before the command was executed)
- delete com.apple.finder.plist in preferences
- shift+command+. to toggle hidden files on/off
System: OS X 10.9.5
Does anyone have any advice to resolve this issue?
Cheers
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5), null
