This might draw a RTFM response, but how can QS be tickled into
displaying "hidden" (prefixed with a ".") files?
Thanks

We're pretty nice around here, so the worst you might get is an RTM,
not an RTFM. And usually we'll go so far as to tell you what page to
look on. For example, you need page 49 of Howard Melman's user guide,
which is available in the Files section of this site as
Quicksilver.pdf.

The basic answer is to select the folder containing the hidden files
in QS's first pane, then press ⌥/ (option slash) or ⌥→ (option right
arrow). QS will now list all the files inside the folder, including
hidden files. If you only press / or → without ⌥, QS will only list
the visible files.

Reading the manual is a pretty good second option to asking
unnecessary questions. Thanks for your time and trouble. Hope I don't
do it again.
