Dattwood Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) Version: Alfred 4.1 [1167] I would like to be able to toggle file visibility from Alfred's file explorer, or from the "File Search" tab in Alfred-Preferences. As far as I can tell, Alfred cannot see invisible files at all*. Is this a safety precaution or a feature I somehow missed? Even in Finder, it's just a matter of pressing "shift+cmd+."... * Edit: While Alfred can see files marked hidden by `chflags hidden {filename}`, it can't see filenames prefixed with a "." (as in `~/.bashrc`) -- at least, not in any straightforward way that I'm aware of.

vitor Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Alfred uses Spotlight’s search index, which doesn’t include dotfiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
