MacOS – Always show hidden in Open/Save dialogs

dialogmacos

Is it possible to set by default to show hidden files and folders in Open and Save dialogs ?

I know it is possible to trigger to show hidden for dialog lifetime by press Command ⌘+Shift ⇧+..

I just asked this question again, since there were no real answers here, and according to this answer all you need to do is run

defaults write -g AppleShowAllFiles -bool true

and restart whichever application(s) you're using, and you're all set. No restarting Finder or your computer. Brilliant!
