Keeping hidden files hidden, how can I see content inside hidden directories using Finder tags.
I can assign a tag to directory A
, but it does not show in Finder when I list all tag-tagged content.
.hidden_directory/
├── A
│ ├── a
│ │ └── 1.0
│ │ ├── bin
│ │ │ └── abc
...
Is this possible?
EDIT: I was able to successfully retrieve any content inside directories like Documents
, even if those directories have been deliberately hidden via chflags hidden <FILENAME>
.
This is not too bad, but it would be useful if I could add tags to some of the contents inside .directories
to quickly access them via the GUI, but without turning hidden files on.
EDIT2: This could help some people, but it's not quite exactly what I want to accomplish.
EDIT3: The first answer here also helps, but I was hoping I could use tags instead of dragging a directory to the sidebar.
