Is there any way to open a file with a leading . in the filename using just the regular File > Open... dialog?

It not only displays "dot-files", but any hidden files (including those hidden with the chflags hidden <filename> command). – Daniel Beck – 2011-06-07T04:33:39.137

--. (Command-shift-.) will toggle hidden file visibility in open dialogs.

Yeah, I found the answer while composing the question because different search terms occurred to me. Sorry to be a tease. – blahdiblah – 2011-06-06T22:00:15.007
