I found where H&S installed itself. Right into a different programs package.

Potentially useful, but the installer doesn't install anything. I had to run H&S from inside the package.

Andreas..
With so many magnificent freeware apps available for the Mac I think this developer is being greedy to ask even just $5 for a single Terminal command or, in an AppleScript:

set {currentSetting, toggle} to {do shell script "defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles", "ON"}
if currentSetting is in "ONO" then set toggle to "OFF"

try
    
-- Put an optional "whoosh" sound here
    tell application "Finder" to quit
    do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles " & toggle
    delay 0.25
-- Adjust to suit your Mac
    tell application "Finder" to launch
on error errTxt
    display dialog errTxt
end try


Hint: If you use it often save it from Script Editor as an app and slide it into the sidebar of a Finder window.

Sorry, Mr Developer - what you are doing is not in any way dishonest, but I find it unfriendly to your fellow Mac users.
