    Free aplication to operate hidden files and folders on Mac
    This program (Funter) is free, but requires Admin permission to install on Sierra in the Security settings since downloaded from the web.
    Use Funter to show hidden files, switch hidden files visibility in Finder,
    hide files, copy, move or remove them.
    Features
    Show hidden files in two clicks
    Search hidden files in system folders and packages
    Hide/unhide your files to be visible in Finder

    One click to turn on hidden files in the finder (ones starting with a dot . or otherwise) so that users don't need to resort to third party tools or the terminal command line.

    Suggestions for icon would be a 'spy icon' as per at the hundreds that show up on Google Image search for the same.
     
  4. Necessary show any fils to hiden (file system)

    You absolute STARS!! Thanks Parallels for sorting this for us. It was so desperately needed and I am incredibly pleased you listened and produced.

    All the best to you all

    Alternatively, just use the shortcut key provided by macOS: "shift+command+.". To hide your file, just set the "hidden" flag using `chflags`.
