Re-hiding hidden files on OSX

This I actually found the other day, but I better post it before I forget.

For whatever reason I somehow triggered all files to be displayed in Finder. Everywhere I went .DS_Store files (and anything else under the Sun) became visible.

The fix: Open Terminal -> defaults write com.Apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles NO

Then you need to bounce finder by executing: killall Finder

Till next time…
