Very nice! Now that I can see all my hidden files; how do I color the back ground of the rows of normally hidden files, to differentiate them from the others?

Well, it killed the finder entirely, without restarting it - Intel Mac 10.4.8. I find this terminal command much easier, since it is reversible: defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles 1

change the 1 to a 0 to go back to normal

Hi - just downloaded this action - and double clicked it trying to install it in Automator. My finder items have gone grey and can’t be used and there are (hidden files exposed as expected). I thought it would use individual file and not everything. How do I reverse please?
