Desktop & Finder
Show Hidden Files
One of the most well known and widely used terminal
commands. Use the snippet below to make hidden files visible in the Finder.
defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
Set it back to “NO” to re-hide the files.
Hide Your Desktop Debris
If you find yourself constantly embarrassed or distracted by
your messy desktop habits, download Camouflage, a free app that
quickly hides everything on your desktop.
Choose a New Library
There are several applications in OS X that allow you to
choose or create a different library on startup. Simply hold down the option
key when you click on an app in the dock to see a window similar to the one
below.
Sync Application Libraries Across Macs
Use the previous tip to create a new library for an
application and place that library in your Dropbox folder.
Then choose this library with the same application on any other Macs that you
own and all the application data will remain synced between the two Macs!
This trick is completely free, just be sure to watch the
size of the libraries you are syncing as it’s really easy to eat up all your
Dropbox space.
Finder Window Shortcuts
It’s easy to miss that you can actually add item shortcuts
to the top of your Finder windows. Simply drag the application into the space
to the left of the Spotlight field.
