I entered "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES" but my home library folder does not show. Command J does not bring up the boxes to tock off anymore. What is the new terminal command to show all files?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4), 15 inch, discrete graphics,
When I do this, I see the various folders that are in my username directory:
I don't see the individual files. Going back to the Finder > Sidebar preferences, pressing Ctrl + J displays a dialog asking me how I would like the icons to appear. I am not sure if I should be seeing something else.
Thanks,
Kirupa
Select your Home Folder in the Finder Sidebar, the one with the "House" icon and your user name.
Then press "Command + J".
Make sure Home is selected in Finder Preferences > Sidebar.
The official release is out today, and it's still has the recent folder bug. Is there a work around for this?
Oh! I misunderstood the original thread, then. I was looking for the equivalent of the "All My Files" view in Finder: http://cdn.osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/arrange-by-date-last-opened-f inder-all-my-files.jpg
If the Recents window replaced it, then there is a bug in it. It isn't showing files in my Dropbox folder, for example.
If you are seeing "Recents" then you are running the Public Beta of High Sierra and according to the Beta agreement you are not allowed to ask questions here.
If you want to see what's in your Dropbox folder you can open it.
For your perusal…
Thanks, that worked.
You're welcome.
If you click on one of the folders it will display what is in them.
how to show all files in Sierra?
