Hidden Files on Mac

#1

Trying to find a directory on my macbook. It’s a . directory, .ebextensions, which is used for AWS when creating elastic beanstalk apps. For some reason, when I go to ‘open’ a file, I can’t see this directory. I can see it in finder, I can see it in versions. I have checked my preferences for exclusions. Looks like the following:

"folder_exclude_patterns": ".svn", ".git", ".hg", "CVS"],
"file_exclude_patterns": "*.pyc", "*.pyo", "*.exe", "*.dll", "*.obj","*.o", "*.a", "*.lib", "*.so", "*.dylib", "*.ncb", "*.sdf", "*.suo", "*.pdb", "*.idb", ".DS_Store", "*.class", "*.psd", "*.db"],

So, not quite sure how this should work. There are ways around it, but it’s annoying.

OSX version is 10.7.5. Sublime is 2.0.2, build 2221.

You can switch files visibility and find these hidden files. There are special apps. I use Funter. It allows to find any file, hide or unhide them and delete in the simplest way.
