Show hidden files in SELECT folder only How do I show hidden files in one directory only? I have a development folder that I'd like to see hidden files in, but I don't want to see hidden files anywhere else on my computer.

Here is the code I tried in the terminal to show all hidden files but it's not what I want. Thanks!

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder
This isn't possible. You can either show all hidden files or hide all hidden files. This setting can't be set for individual folders.
