How to make a file "hidden"

This question might sound stupid but here it goes. How do you hide a file?, i know how to view hidden files (onyx) but i dont know how to make a normal file as hidden

On a related note, I am looking for a way to hide only those files that I want hidden. Some hidden files I need to access on an almost-daily basis, but others, like .DS_Store and such, I'll never need direct access to.
So, is there an official way to set up a custom list of file names and/or file regex patterns so only certain files are hidden from the Finder?
Thanks!

  • How to make Jar files in JBuilder

  • How to make jar files availabe for deployed EJBs

    Hi,
    I'm interested on how to make jar files availabe for deployed EJBs.
    My EJB is packed in an ear. It uses a util jar. I now just add the jar to the
    classpath, but I think that shouldn't be the way. Is there somthing in the admin
    console to make jars available or do I have to insert it in the ear file? And
    if so, where do I hve to place it?
    Thanks
    Claudia

    Put the util.jar in the ear with your ejb jars - at the same level (i.e. in
    the root) - but do not include them in the manifest.xml.
    Also each ejb jar that refers to util.jar must have util.jar on its internal
    classpath in the manifest.

  • How to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

    how to make pdf file auto open with adobe reader after downloaded

    I note from your system details that you have the plugin for adobe pdf s so I would have expected the files should open in firefox '''without''' you needing to explicitly download them.
    Once the files are open in firefox, you will also get the option to save them permanently to a location on your computer. If you wish I suppose you could set the file type pdf to be associated with and be opened by firefox instead of with the Adobe Acrobat Reader, but that would just seem to be an additional complexity.

  • How to make audio file to use as ringtone on iPhone 5

    Does anyone know how to make a file and then make it a ringtone?

    Make sure iTunes prefs > Import settings is set to AAC.
    In iTunes, find the song you want and note the start/stop time you want the ring tone.
    Right click - get info, click the Options tab and set the start/stop times as above. (Note a 30 second max for ringtones)
    Right click - Create AAC version. This creates a new file.
    Drag this new file from the iTunes window to the desktop.
    Delete the new file from iTunes and also select Delete from hard drive.
    On the desktop, rename the file to what_ever_you_want.m4r (first part you can change to whatever you want & change the extension to .m4r).
    Drag the file back to the iTunes library at top left.
    Make sure iTunes prefs > General has Tones ticked.

  • How to make jar file for this compilation method ?

    can any one tell me how to make jar file for this compilation
    D:\java\browser\IEInJava>javac -classpath jdic.jar;. IEInJava.java
    D:\java\browser\IEInJava>java -cp jdic.jar;. IEInJava
    *this is a compile code:-*
    D:\java\browser\IEInJava>javac -classpath jdic.jar;. IEInJava.java
    *and this is a run code:-*
    D:\java\browser\IEInJava>java -cp jdic.jar;. IEInJavanow how make JAR file ?

    Assuming IEInJava only uses classes inside the jdic jar, this is one way. D:\java\browser\IEInJava> jar cf yourjar.jar IEInJava.classThen to run it you would use D:\java\browser\IEInJava> java -cp jdic.jar;yourjar.jar IEInJavaAnother way would use the jar manifest file to specify the Main-Class and Class-Path.

  • I can't figure out how to make a file permanently "un-hidden"

    So this is the story.  My wife downloaded a virus that I couldn't fix on the PC.  I thought it was a good excuse to move to mac for good.  So I bought a Mac Pro and am running Lion.  The problem is that the virus made the music and movie files on my hard drive "Hidden Files"  I have been able to see them throught the help of the program "Houdini"  as well as the comand line instructions found in the forums.  But I haven't found a way to make the files on my external drive permanantly "visable".  Is there away in OSX 7.3 to do that?  I have looked and looked but found nothing online or in support forums.  Again I am just looking to make the files i the external USB drive visable.  I also want to add that I have two drives and that simply transfering them to the other drive by dragging the root "Music and Movies" folder didn't work.  They still show up on the new drive as being "Invisable"
    Thanks for any insight anyone may have!

  • How to make PDF file size smaller from an Illustrator file without changing the quality or size (length and width) of the file?

    Is there a way to make a 30x42 size (40 GB) Illustrator file as a PDF but make the file smaller in size (able to email to clients) with out compromising the quality of the file or the size of the file?

    If you are working in RGB you can embed a colour profile. Embed ICC Profiles is one of the Acrobat save options. It will increase files size dramatically.
    When you save your pdf you can choose the compression method for placed images. Default is ZIP which is really no compression at all for pixel images. Instead you should opt for JPG compression (of varying degree according to how sensitive the images are to compression).
    You should also examine the other Acrobat save options. To minimize file size you should not have any of the options checked (Preserve Illustrator Editing Capability, Embed page Thumbnails etc. etc.).
    40 gigabytes for a file like the one you show is ridiculous. Did you maybe embed the placed images? If so, don’t. Keep them linked unless you really need to embed them.

    How to make that classes in the JAR file available to my applet at runtime

    SuperJavaHello wrote:
    How to make that classes in the JAR file available to my applet at runtimeAhh! The runtime is an appler! The applet is on the Client, and the Client does not have access to the Server's classpath. You need to un-pack the JAR, then re-pack the classes into the JAR used to pack your Applet, the one that you are using as the code source in the applet tag.

  • CS3, Encore; How to make a file for a mediaplayer

    Hallo there,
    How can I make a file in Encore CS3 that is readeble in a mediaplayer like a Popcorn.
    I know how to build a Blu-ray ofcourse, but I want to deliver a file to my customer for his mediaplayer.
    Can someone help me, because Adobe helpline in Holland does not cover Adobe CS3 anymore.
    I hope to hear from someone out there on this planet
    Greetings,
    Bert

    From Encore nothing that results in a single file.
    2 options.
    1) Build to a folder and play the DVD folder.  The method varies on the mediaplayer.  For Windows Media Player on XP, I just right click the first .ifo file in the VIDEO_TS folder and "Play."
    2) From Encore, Export to Flash.  The produces a web page (and folders) that can be played locally through a browser.
