Simple script to change the ShowAllFiles setting.


I place it in the User Scripts folder and enable the script menu for the menu bar.
Release Notes: This is the first and only release of this script. I created it as a quick method for showing hidden files when I need access to them.

It's NOT recommended to use this syntax:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles true

AppleShowAllFiles is a boolean value and has to be set with the -bool switch

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool YES
