Toggle hidden files in Mac OS X Finder

One thing missing from the OSX finder is the ability to toggle hidden files. If you’re a web developer you’ll have conctinual need to access hidden files such as .htaccess or .svn, but equally you may not want to make every Finder view look so untidy. Sure, you can use Terminal to enable/disable hidden files but sometimes you just want quick access to something you know is there but can’t see it. Well, this application appears to do just that. I’ve only just installed it so I can’t vouch for it’s long term usage but for now it offers exactly what I needed – a button on the Finder toolbar to toggle the visibility of hidden files.
