List Hidden Files in Alfred [Version 2.0]


Recommended Posts

Overview

List hidden files in Alfred from Finder current window or from a select folder in Alfred File Browser (File Action).

The workflow does not change Finder files visibility. It will only list those hidden files in Alfred itself.

If there isn't any Finder window then the workflow will list hidden files from the user home folder.

Useful, thanks :)

 

Thank you.

 

Is there a way for this to list hidden directories as well?

 

It is possible and I’ll add the feature somehow.

 

For now you can change a line of the h_filter.scpt to list folders.

 

Look for this line of code: 

set lst_Files to paragraphs of (do shell script "find " & (quoted form of POSIX path of (sDest)) & " -maxdepth 1 -type f -name '.*'")

Replace the line above for this:

set lst_Files to paragraphs of (do shell script "find " & (quoted form of POSIX path of (sDest)) & " -maxdepth 1 -name '.*'")
