Folders on iHP140 - no files visible inside

Febs:
I remember from prior threads here that Mac's native unzip utility chokes on the .rockbox directory because of the period at the beginning of the directory name.  I've seen recommendations to use a different unzip utility (maybe something called Onyx?).  The Rockbox Utility should also work.

Not really chokes per se, but because of the . at the beginning of the folder name (which causes the file/folder to be hidden under Unix and Linux), you won't see it appear in the Finder. You would have to enable hidden file view to see it. There's a Widget for that purpose that you can find by searching around on Apple's site for "desktop widgets" and "show hidden files".

I would recommend StuffIt, for using archive files.

Well the funny thing was that I did use Stuffit and it expanded the .zip file with it showing temporarily on my desktop (as all unzipped files appear) but then disappeared almost as suddenly. I wonder now if it's the business of the . preceeding the name.

But the good news is that it was a simple issue and now solved.

Thanks to everyone for their input.  :)
