What? Of course you can!

$ ln -s .hidden not_hidden

It's that easy. Really.



Well, that's a symlink. It's a good idea, and something I should remember if I ever do start using Linux again—but the downside is that if I do need to temporarily enable hidden files, I'll see the same directory twice.

I'm being picky, I know! But I still think the Library approach is cleaner. (Again, back when it wasn't hidden by default!)
