How to choose invisible folders? Wed Oct 29, 2014 8:46 am • by Nahele
Hi,

I bought hazel a few minutes ago. Now I would like to use it with DevonThink. Therefore I need a rule which moves pdf files from the downloads folder to the inbox. I managed to get my mac to show invisible files within the finder. But in the menu where I can choose a folder to move files to in hazel the invisible folders are not shown. I already tried to activate the scan invisibles option from here:http://www.noodlesoft.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1651, but it still doesn't work. Has anyone an idea what else could I try?

Greetings,

Nahele

Note that there is a bug now where invisible files don't show up in the preview no matter what. But in the open dialog, you can show invisible files by doing cmd-shift-. (this works in any open dialog). Note that there is also an Apple bug where that won't work properly if you are in column view, so you'll have to switch to list or icon view (and switch back, if you want) for the change to be seen.
