Terminal in Mac OS X open the to hide the folder
You can open the Terminal using "applications" - "utilities" - "Terminal"; or type in the Spotlight search, the term "Terminal". To hide a file or a folder, you should first of all be clear about where, i.e. in which path this is. Suppose you want to hide the folder "pictures" on the Desktop, proceed as follows:
- The current file path is "~/Desktop/images". The complete directory to hide, you need to rename the folder in ".Images".
- This is done with the following command: "mv ~/Desktop/pictures ~/Desktop/.Images"
- "mv" stands for move - move, so to speak, the old folder "pictures" on the Desktop, by clicking the directory in ".Images" rename
Individual files with the Move command hide
- You want to move additional files in the hidden folder, you can also use the Move command: "mv ~/Desktop/Test.jpg ~/Desktop/.Pictures of" move the image file "Test.jpg" from the Desktop in the hidden directory ".Images".
- You want to move all the JPEG files from the Desktop to the hidden folders, you would have to customize the command as follows: mv ~/Desktop/*.jpg, ~/Desktop/.Images
- Similarly, you can rename individual files and move them. Suppose you want to hide the image "test.jpg" in the folder "images" on the "Desktop", type the following command: mv ~/Desktop/Bilder/Test.jpg ~/Desktop/Bilder/.Test.jpg
To make hidden files/directories in the Terminal, you must first be added to the List command "ls" to "-a" Option. How you can quickly and easily directory contents on Mac OS X to be able to compare, you can learn here.
