Display hidden files in Finder (Tweak Series)


if you want to see hidden files (including system files and folders) in the Finder,

there is no such option like in windows ("Folder Options"),
you should open a terminal and write this line:

defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles 1
killall Finder


and then open finder and you can see the hidden files and folders,
if you would like to restore the previouse state then just replace the 1 with 0 like this:

defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles 1
killall Finder

there is also a utility to do that with just one click named "Hidden Way" here is a link to download it.
Enjoy.
