On Macintosh and other UNIX-like systems such as Linux, one can put a '.' (full-stop / period) at the start of a folder name and it then becomes invisible to the user.
(presumably there is also a way of doing this on Windows) However . . . (one can almost hear the hackers chuckling to themselves) . . . anybody with a bit of knowledge (or, for that matter TinkerTool: http://www.bresink.com/osx/TinkerTool.html can 'see' invisible folders. on Ubuntu one merely selects the "show all files' option in a Nautilus window. So, if you are thinking of making a data folder invisible to stop people pinching your multimedia files, 'fergeddit'. I, also, don't know if RunRev 'sees' invisible folder. The best way to protect your media files is to embed them in code-protected substacks that can be loaded in and out of RAM as needed. sincerely, Richmond Mathewson. ____________________________________________________________ A Thorn in the flesh is better than a failed Systems Development Life Cycle. ____________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
