I have managed to write a piece of code in .profile file in bash to hide/show all the icons from the Desktop, running from Terminal.
I need the same functionality just for 1 icon to work with after I have hidden all in the first place.
So I need something like showicon %1 command, where %1 is the name of the icon on Desktop.
Any Suggestions on how do I do it?
The Terminal command chflags can be used to hide and unhide files:
chflags hidden /path/to/file.ext or
chflags nohidden /path/to/file.ext You can create a simple alias called hideicon that invokes chflags hidden, and similarly for showicon to invoke the opposite command:
alias hideicon='chflags hidden' and
alias showicon='chflags nohidden' Add these to your ~/.bashrc file, and they'll load with each new instance of your shell.
