Thanks to:
Steve, For giving me tons of ideas.
Bob Penman, for adding 3 more ?s to the FAQ.
FAQ:
a) Does it find invisible items in subfolders of Preferences?
No, not yet.
b) Can an invisible item be a folder?
Yes
c) Where does it put the "Invisible Prefs" folder?
In the same folder as the app
d) When the "Copy" option is selected, does it make the copied items visible?
Yes, if "make Invisible prefs visible" is checked.
e) When "Delete" is selected, does it delete invisible items by moving
them to the Trash
Yes
and if so does it make them visible on the way?
Yes, if "make Invisible prefs visible" is checked.
f). If you make the Invisible Prefs visible and put them in a Folder within the application, will they be a "Copy" and will the original Invisible Prefs also still be in their original location?
Yes.
g) If I make the Invisible Prefs visible and want to put them back as Invisible Prefs if your answer is that they are the one and only copy, what should I do?
h) If I should Trash the now Visible Prefs, will the application generate automatically a new set of Invisible Prefs just like the system does in the Preference Folder for visible prefs?
just about 99.999999% of the time, unless you have deleted the app :)
