I'd like to bump this too. Much needed tool for our toolbox.

One click to turn on hidden files in the finder (ones starting with a dot . or otherwise) so that users don't need to resort to third party tools or the terminal command line.

Suggestions for icon would be a 'spy icon' as per at the hundreds that show up on Google Image search for the same.

You absolute STARS!! Thanks Parallels for sorting this for us. It was so desperately needed and I am incredibly pleased you listened and produced.

All the best to you all
Sean

Alternatively, just use the shortcut key provided by macOS: "shift+command+.". To hide your file, just set the "hidden" flag using `chflags`.
