[Casper] Finder shows hidden files after image

[Nichols, Jared]

Hi-

I don't think it would be Casper either, but I use something called SetHidden to re-hide these folders.  It came with (I believe) the 10.4 dev tools - though works on 10.5 too.  It'll need installation as it's a command-line binary, but once it's installed, you can call it with a script as part of maintenance.  It's simple and does the trick nicely.

I attached a compressed a folder with the following:

 *   SetHidden - file - Iceberg project file
 *   resources - folder - contains postflight script which executes the SetHidden command
 *   contents - folder - contains the SetHidden binary and hidden_MacOS9 file as distributed from Dev Tools
 *   build - folder - contains built, installable, Set Hidden.pkg, as compiled from Iceberg.

Cheers

Hi,

I have imaged a Mac and it now shows the etc and var folders, among
others in the Finder. These should of course be hidden. How can I hide
them, and any idea why Casper would have done this?

Best wishes

Michael
