You only have to do it once; then hidden files are visible forever (or until you run the command to hide them again). I keep hidden files visible on my systems all the time. Very convenient. If you routinely want to toggle the visibility of hidden files for some reason, I'm sure you can write a script to automate it. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
