How to show hidden files in FileZilla? Up to the previouse version there was an option for it in:
View menu at the top >> select Show Hidden Files
That was it. In the new versions (I think since 3.1.6) this menu dissappeared. Google did not really help, since only the old menu was described on several help-sites. After searching for a while, I found the menu now in:
Server menu at the top >> select Force showing hidden files
Just as simple, but when searching for a menu starting with “Show” you will not recognize the new menu starting with “Force”.

FileMerger and other “Diff-Tools” normally compare only two files at once. Good programs (like BBEdit) can additionally compare the contents of two folders.
Today I had to compare 673 files in two folders with each other. Now I was looking for a tool doing this for me: I found KDiff3!
KDiff3 can not only compare a huge amount of files in two different locations, it also compares three files with each other at once. KDiff3 is easy to use and has a functional GUI, which looks like a Win 3.11 GUI 
You can download that tool for Mac Universal (PPC/x86), Linux i386 and Windows i386 from its homepage at: http://kdiff3.sourceforge.net/

Due to the lack of a LSL-Plugin for BBEdit (yes – BBEdit is simply the best text and sourcecode editor for Apple Mac OS X; in fact I’m using BBEdit since the early 1990’s starting with “BBEdit Lite” and later a BBEdit 3.1.1 version) I wrote a quick implementation of my own to have syntax- highlighting.
You can download the Plugin for free at: Download LSL Plugin for BBEdit and TextWrangler
Update:
I’m proud to annonce, that my PlugIn made it to the official site of BareBonesSoftware!
