Carsten,

I think (qualify that!) that you can NOT make that CD folder visible again
*on* the CD, because the CD is locked. If it's rewritable, you could dump cd
to hd, do whatever, then write back the whole lot again.

Otherwise, if you just want to GET the stuff in the invisible folder on the
CD, then, yes, you can do that easily (it will remain in the invisible
folder on the CD, of course, with same caveat as above.)

As demonstrated, you can use Paul's script (requires Akua) or File Buddy
(requires download of shareware).  I ran Paul's script and it works fine,
and with his modification (addition) in a recent post, you can find ALL
files in the invisible folder.

IMHO, if all one would ever need FileBuddy for was this task, then the
AppleScript method makes more sense.  There is no interface, of course
(unless you want to add one...a simple 'display dialog default answer...' to
get a file name would do it) but it is a great example of using AppleScript
for a task that you can't even do in the Finder alone.

HTH

P.S.  If SecretFolder or whatever does something to the flags of the
folder/file that make it unable to be found by such tools, then you might
have to use SecretFolder again to make it visible. Come to think of it, why
don't you just do that anyway?  Isn't that what its for...hiding and showing
"secret folders"?
