How do I open a hidden folder/file by using terminal

I know how to use Mac, I didn't find a better category.
By using this "code" in terminal you can show all hidden files:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles True
But also hide more files by putting a dot infront of the file-name.
Now let's say I have hidden a folder and it's located on my desktop and I have hidden all files again (by entering:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles False).
How do I open just this one folder without showing every hidden file?
I know you have to write killall Finder if you wondered

Thank you! I have only heard about the shortcut (ShiftCmdC). But my mac "is on Swedish" so the shortcut didn't work. I checked out Go and there I found it.
The shortcut for Swedish Macs is ShiftCmdG

    How can i open the directory/folder and read all the files inside it in order and then close it? any example would be nice.
    thanks

    In the File I/O>>Advanced File Functions Palette is a function named "List directory". This function will give you two arrays. One contains the names of all subdirectories the other the names of all files. If you want to sort them by name use the array sort function. If you want to sort them by another attribute use the File/Directory Info function to get more data. Use a cluster which contains the attribut to sort and the original index of the name. Then sort this array.

  • How do I open a raw NEF file in Photoshop cs6? [was: Raw Files]

    How do I open a raw NEF file in photoshop cs6?

    Browse to the folder in Bridge, then right-click Open in Camera Raw, then in ACR, Open.
    Or if you’re already in Photoshop: File or Photoshop if on a Mac / Open / browse to the file / Open.
    If you get an error that the format is not supported then either the camera is too new or you’ve used an obsolete version of Nikon products like Transfer or ViewNX to copy or view the NEFs and they are corrupted.
    Help / Updates is how you get the latest version of the Camera Raw plug-in.
    You can use a utility from here to fix the corruption:

  • How do I open a new original file on adobe

    How do I open a new original file on adobe, and how do I merge exiting files under one title.

    The iOS reader doesn't create pdfs. Adobe does sell a CreatePDF app.
    The iOS reader does not merge pdfs any more than the Reader for Mac or PC. I cannot find any reference to the CreatePDF merging two different pdfs.
    Adobe does a have a web createpdf service that does combine pdfs into one pdf (createpdf.acrobat.com), but I doubt it would work from an iOS device. But you could ask the the acrobat.com forum.

  • How can i open Nikon D610 RAW files in Element 12 ?

    How can i open Nikon D610 RAW files in Element 12 ?

    You need the ACR 8.3 plug-in to open D610 NEF files.
    Check what Help / About Plug-ins / Camera Raw reports for the version number. 
    If it is something less than 8.3, update to the ACR 8.3 plug-in using Help / Updates from the Editor.  If that says there are no updates, then uninstall and re-install and try again.
    If it is already ACR 8.3 then the files are likely corrupted by using an obsolete version of Nikon Transfer or ViewNX with them.
    You can fix that corruption using a utility from the following webpage, where 14-bits is likely what you’d want to specify, and only use Nikon utilities that are as new as your camera:
