[HOWTO] - simply turn Finder's showing of hidden files on or off

[deliciousMammal]

That's cool. Usually to get at those files I go to Terminal and give it the 'open' command for whatever directory I want and finder shows it.

It works nice, buit all the icons look grayish when Finder shows hidden files, is there any way to get them back with their original colors?

For those of us who don't much do scripts and terminal,
the easy way is to download TinkerTool (freeware) from
versiontracker.com.

Thanks for this great tiny script... I'm coming from Win and Linux, and greatly appreciating Mac Os X except for certain things like this of hidden files...

Keep going!

Cheers,
