'Go to folder...' (or shift-cmd-G) will also open hidden folders in Finder, then I make visible aliases to folders such as /bin or /usr. For those who insist on GUI access to lots of preferences otherwise only accessible through the terminal try TinkerTool from http://www.bresink.com/osx/0TinkerTool/download.html and/or OnyX from http://www.titanium.free.fr. For a very useful extension to Finder, a better way to get file info and to browse invisible files try XRay from http://www.brockerhoff.net/xray simon _______________________________________________ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
