Bits and Books: Libraries, the Internet and Meeting the Needs of Twenty-first Century Patrons


Hidden Switch is a tiny little Mac app that’s useful for web designers, app developers or anyone else who has to work with hidden files on their Mac regularly. It asks your system, “Is Finder currently set to show all files, including hidden ones?” Whatever the answer is, Hidden Switch will flip it the other way (“yes” becomes “no” and vice versa…like a switch, get it?), restart Finder and then exit.

That’s it! There are no preferences, no config files…nothing else to it.
