Hello all,
For some reason, my home directory just turned into type Package in the Finder! Some symptoms:
- I can see that /Users/Me is a directory in Terminal,
- /Users/Me has permissions drwxr-xr-x,
- I can access all the subfolders within it,
- but Finder will refuse to actually let me view the contents directly in /Users/Me,
- if I use any application such as Safari and try to save a document, I can likewise not be able to click on my home folder icon and view its contents,
- Finder Inspector says type is "Package", but regular folders are "Folder"
So the questions are:
- What makes Finder think that my home folder is a package? Files that I have in the folder or some sort of resource fork metadata?
- How do I change it back to a regular folder?
Thanks for any help.
