This NSWorkspace extension add the method “isInvisibleFileAtPath:” to NSWorkspace class. To use it just call that method with a valid pathname you will return a boolean telling you if the file is invisible or not. This method is the union of many partial ways of checking if a file is invisible, which are available on forums. This was needed because Mac OS X has many way of making a file invisible. Note that some paths are hardcoded. Those files apparently do not have any invisible flag, yet they are invisible in Finder.

The attached class is an NSFormatter subclass and is useful for taking a size expressed in byte like “2048” and convert it to an human readable string like “2 KB”. It supports unit of measures up to the Terabyte. Note that this class assumes it receives as input an NSNumber or any object that responds to floatValue. Backward translation is also not implemented (and wouldn’t probably make sense as informations are going to be lost anyways).
