Image visibility (Mac) - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

drawerfixer · 07-27-2003, 03:19 PM

When I hopped on Acquisition to download the song from this commercial, I noticed an upload which confused me. It was a 73.3 kb image file titled 'JEZ Girlfriend 18 years redhead...' and a bunch of other porn stuff, of course. I didn't recall downloading such an image, and when I clicked on 'reveal file', it went to the shared folder, but no file was there of that name. I then did an all system file search with visibility off. It found the files in the Shared folder as it told me before. My question is how I can change this file's visibility. I could only open the file through the computer search, yet couldn't select anything, so I'm pretty stumped.

Thanks for any help.

it probably has a period at the beginning of the file name.

Geek Fix: Launch Terminal /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app
type 'cd' (this is the change directory command) then type in the path to the file. If the file is inside your home folder you can start it with ~/ so you don't have to type /users/yourname/
type 'ls -a' (list files with the all tag) to make sure your in the directory with the file.
Then 'mv .fileName newFileName' not the dot(period) in front of the orginal file name.
The file will now have the new filename and should be visible from the finder.

Yeah. Watch for .files

Makes it a pain to make .htaccess on your computer and upload to server.
