Alternatively, I also use TinkerTool to show all hidden files and folders, and that may be why the Library is always visible for me. Folders like .vim and .Xcode are visible in him home folder.

I used chflags and dragged the Library folder into FAVORITES and it’s been there for every update.

(or make an alias on the Desktop.)

/usr/bin/chflags nohidden ~/Library

If you use a different shell, you’ll need to edit (or create) a different file, but the basic command should be the same.

Thank you. I didn’t know the command to change it. I use Path Finder so I get extended attributes in the Info panel and used that but it was such a hassle. Now I just open a Terminal window.
