Mark,
I believe it if you say the hidden state is not connected to the
permissions, (I thought it was) but then why when I run Disk tools and
Fix Permissions does it then also reset the hidden state of a folder
that I 'changed'?
Thanks
Tom

Hi,
On the Mac, the temp folder in the library folder is not hidden. The
folder "/tmp" is. The visibility of a folder is not connected to
permissions on Mac/Unix/Linux. I think it is the same on Windows.
Because the Windows temp folder is a system folder, it is supposed
to be hidden on Windows regardless of permissions. Of course, it is
a Very Bad Idea to change the permissions of your temp folder.

Hi Tiemo,
No you will have permissions to write to it always, but it remains
hidden as it should be. That's all. And you checking what you are
doing IS a good reason to do this, I think.
It is just that when ever I have 'issues' like slow downs of my
system I have to run a check and fix my permissions and the Disk
Utility app usually resets all of the permissions that I have
changed. I am pretty sure the hidden state of a folder is tied into
the permissions of a folder. Someone can correct me if this is not
the case.
You are fine in what you are doing here. I was just letting you
know that it might not be a good idea in a distributed stack or app
to go around a users system and changing the hidden state of folders.
