Make a hidden drawer / directory in Workbench?
IDE to CF card arrived today. 2GB card inserted and partitioned.
I love how a clean install of Workbench 3.0 involves copying the contents of a 880k disk or two... Seems strange having an A1200 making no noise bar the click click click of the disk driving checking for a disk. I've copied over the Fonts and Locales disks to corresponding directories (I think they're called drawers in Workbench) which I created manually. However these folders are visible, how do I make them hidden like other system directories such a C and Libs? |

Re: Make a hidden drawer / directory in Workbench?
Open up a shell. Type:
delete sys:fonts.info delete sys:locale.info Close and re-open (or update) the window. Far better to install properly from the install disk though as it puts everything where it should be. -- moto

Delete the .info file for each drawer you wish to become 'invisible'

I don't have the install disk in my set sadly, it was a vanilla A1200 when I got it for Christmas many years ago.

Re: Make a hidden drawer / directory in Workbench?
The icons (original install) are drawers, which open up when you click on them.
