I have several files which I hid using
chflags hidden
They work properly in Finder: They originally do not show up, but shift-control-period toggles them between showing and not showing.
I next made a Smart Folder/Saved Search:
[All] of the following are true
[File visibility] [Visible items]
<further criteria>
EVERYTHING satisfying <further criteria> shows up -- visible files AND invisible files!
As an experiment, I also made
[All] of the following are true
[File visibility] [Invisible items]
<further criteria>
NOTHING shows up -- not visible files OR invisible files! A completely blank list!
What is wrong?
