How to un-hide a file that has been hidden on Mac OS 8? I have a copy of an old folder holding a file that has been hidden on Mac OS 8 or 9 (using resedit, if my memory isn't failing). Is there an easy way to un-hide it in OS X?
If you have Xcode installed you can try the SetFile command. The command below should unhide the hidden file.

SetFile -a v hiddenFilename
