- Down the bottom, hit "Go to folder..."
- Type in the path you want to go to. In this case, that's "/Volumes/KOBOeReader/.adobe-digitals-editions"
- Hit "Go", and voila, the hidden folder opens.
No need to hide files again afterwards.
Another way is to use a script that you put in a handy place (I have it in my Finder window toolbars). I actually have two, one that toggles all hidden files on/off (relaunches the Finder, as your "killall Finder" terminal command does), and the other gives me a browse window (the "open file..." browse window) and lets me browse all hidden files, then choose one to open. Very useful. |
I did not know that. That will be very useful in the future. Thank you. ^_^
