How do I show hidden files in one directory only? I have a development folder that I'd like to see hidden files in, but I don't want to see hidden files anywhere else on my computer.

Here is the code I tried in the terminal to show all hidden files but it's not what I want. Thanks!

    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
    killall Finder

Do you want them to be visible temporarily? If so, try `ls -a`. Hopefully I didn't misinterpret your question. – Dylan May 27 '14 at 19:26
Dylan, good question. I know the "ls -a" command but I want them to be visible permanently. – a15n May 27 '14 at 19:29
