Xray Vision: Hide and Reveal Folders Instantly
Xray Vision is a program that allows you to easily hide and reveal files and folders in Finder on your Mac. While OS X already provides the option to hide certain folders, Xray Vision gives you full control over which elements to hide and reveal. It may sound like a crude security measure, but hiding your files can be an effective way of protecting them from prying eyes.
When you open Xray Vision, you are presented with a main window where you can browse to the files you want to hide. Simply select the ones you want to hide to make them invisible or visible. Invisible files appear in Finder as red, while visible files appear in black. You can easily switch between the two modes using the "Toggle Visibility" button.
It is worth noting that Xray Vision does not offer any functionality that OS X itself does not already have. However, it does make the process much easier and provides more control over what is hidden. The developers recommend setting up an ignore list of vital files and folders that you do not want hidden. Additionally, it is important to use Xray Vision with caution, as manipulating the file structure of OS X can potentially result in damage to your file system if used incorrectly.
Xray Vision is a simple yet effective way to preserve the privacy of your folders and files. Just make sure to use it responsibly.
