Hidden files

[multinode]

How can I see hidden files in Finder please?

 

[mheidt]

defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES

 

[LPZ]

defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES

And then you need to relaunch Finder!

So here's a complete solution: Open Terminal (in Utilities) and enter

defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES; killall Finder

(Replace YES with NO to undo the change.)

If you only need to see hidden files for a search, but don't want them always displayed, you can simply do a search in Finder and add hidden files as a search criteria:
