Can one hide a referenced folder?

[Richmond Mathewson]

On Macintosh and other UNIX-like systems such as Linux, one can
put a '.' (full-stop / period) at the start of a folder name and
it then becomes invisible to the user.

(presumably there is also a way of doing this on Windows)

However . . . (one can almost hear the hackers chuckling to themselves)
. . . anybody with a bit of knowledge (or, for that matter TinkerTool:

http://www.bresink.com/osx/TinkerTool.html

can 'see' invisible folders.

on Ubuntu one merely selects the "show all files' option in a Nautilus 
window.

So, if you are thinking of making a data folder invisible to stop
people pinching your multimedia files, 'fergeddit'.

I, also, don't know if RunRev 'sees' invisible folder.

The best way to protect your media files is to embed them in 
code-protected substacks that can be loaded in and out of RAM as needed.

sincerely, Richmond Mathewson.
