How do you show all hidden files in Finder for High Sierra.
I have tried with the following command in Terminal but no luck.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -boolean true ; killall Finder
Also tried :
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE ; killall Finder
I can see all .* files and folders in Terminal but not in Finder
Thanks
MacBook Pro, macOS High Sierra (10.13.2)
press command shift . (period)
You're welcome. I'm not sure .DS_Store files are still used. The way I used to show hidden files was to use Onyx but it doesn't do anything in High Sierra more than command shift . does as near as I can tell.
Thanks CountryGirl56
That works partially.
Only folders starting with a . (dot) appear.
Files that I see under terminal but do not show in Finder for example:
.DS_Store
._File1.corrupt.mov
I guess DS_Store files are still used. I found 15 of them using Find Any File.
Oh well it appears that any file starting with . do not show.
Only folders starting with . do show in Finder.
Anyone else ?
Use a free tool Funter, which shows and hides hidden files on Mac with just one click.
