Yes, OS X will not display a file with a preceding dot in finder.
You can use Terminal and ls, or run the following Terminal Command to
view in Finder
show all files in Finder:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1;killall Finder
don't show all files in Finder:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 0;killall Finder
And here's an Applescript to simplify the task:
Code:
--------------------
set answer to the button returned of (display dialog ("Finder Hidden Files:")
buttons {"Show", "Hide", "Cancel"} with icon caution default button 3 with
title "Finder Hidden Files")
if answer is "Show" then
tell application "Finder" to quit
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1"
delay 2
tell application "Finder" to run
else
tell application "Finder" to quit
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 0"
delay 2
tell application "Finder" to run
end if
