Version 4.0 Won't Launch on my Mac Pro - Version: 4.0, 11/22/2006 06:20AM PST

This version (even trying several downloads) simply bounces in the dock, and eventually just sits there needing to have a force quit.

Secret Folder and Hide Folder - Version: 4.0, 11/20/2006 05:00PM PST

Its the same developer making the same product. Hide Folder is Freeware and Secret Folder is $20.00 Shareware. Why pay for it? You don't need either program to make a folder invisible. Pay $20.00 for it? You would have to be on something.

Encrpyted Disk Image is the way to go - Version: 4.0b, 10/25/2006 08:57AM PST

So, people would now it's there but wouldn't be able to get in (if you choose a wise password) - therefore an encrypted disk image is the better security tool for documents you want to 'hide' and, though I like Apimac as a company, the added advantage of the disk image route is that it will cost you nothing - Apple's Disk Utility does the job
Can See the .file it makes - Version: 3.6, 1/26/2006 09:47AM PST
skippy van nostrum
If you use a program like tinkerTool and have tinkertool show invisible files. You can see the folder that you made invisible. I assume the password feature on this program works but the bottom line you can see the file/folder when you give the command to "show invisible." Thumbs down for total security.

There is no need to use programs like this if you can use terminal and a bit of unix.
For example, if you use the cd command correctly to get to the right location, and you have a folder or file named, let's say, 'flowers' that you need to hide, merely type in terminal
mv flowers .flowers
this renames the flowers folder/file to .flowers. The dot in front of it tells it to be hidden, so to speak. if you run in terminal
ls
you will not see it
if you run
ls -l
you will not see it.
TO see everything in terminal, you must use
ls -a

I tried this out with Spotlight. Spotlight could not find a secret folder or any of its contents. Secret folder does just what it says does. And Apimac has excellent customer support.

Works just fine - Version: 3.1, 8/7/2005 09:39AM PST

This version hides all selected files, even under Spotlight. Not sure how the guy below was having problems. Works just fine for me.
I've been using it for some time and am very happy with it. I can't see that this program does much of anything more.
