I discovered a few days ago that on my brand new version of OS X Lion, my library folder was hidden, and that the only way to access it was to use the Terminal. After a few searches on the web, I found the right command to apply to my Library folder.
chflags :
The chflags utility modifies the file flags of the listed files as specified by the flags operand.
To make the ~/Library folder visible you may follow these steps :
- Open the Terminal and type :
|
1 |
chflags nohidden ~/Library/ |
- Press enter
Now that your folder is visible, you might also use this command in the terminal to see the flags of the folders in the current directory.
|
1 |
ls -lO |
The above command will print out in your Terminal the following output when a folder is hidden :
|
1 |
drwx------@ 53 noktec staff hidden 1802 Aug 00 00:00 Library |
And that’s it
