View/Hide /opt folder from Finder

[Luís Beça-2]

How can I View/Hide the /opt folder from Finder? I have a laptop with  
macports installed
that for some reason does not display the /opt folder in the Finder...

Thanks
Luís

chflags(1) to set/clear the "hidden" flag, "ls -lO" to see what flags  
are set.

You can temporarily get around it by just going to Finder => Go => Go  
to folder . . .   and typing in /opt  - that will give you a finder  
window. There are ways to change the defaults for what is hidden and  
what isn't. If you want to change visibility permanently - give it a  
google. I think there are some apps which provide an easy interface  
for it. I just use shift-command-G which usually has /opt/local or  
~/.ssh already in it . . .

  sudo chflags nohidden /opt

If you've Setfile -a V, you can Cmd-Shift-Period from the Open/Save
Dialog, and it will show hidden files.  (10.6 only)
