I noticed that older versions of OSX (possibly with cheap usb[2] upgrade cards) write a lot more junk, for instance FINDER.DAT files, those may confuse my mp3 player but certainly more of a hassle, error producing to move things around in finder for me too.
A little harder to remove too. But the other things like .DStore, and so forth don't bother mine, in fact I hide files in the folder .Trashes (since my actual trash appears in a subfolder with my user id, i can create more subfolders in .Trashes with no worries) (note the .Trashes visible to me in Finder because I have used a utility to make them so). What kind of player are you using, does it have a brand (mine just says "Digital Audio" on the side, it cost me $20, works great tho) > > It's a mild annoyance when I plug a USB drive into a windows machine > but it really confuses my MP3 player which actually crashes if I try > to play one of the formerly hidden files. > I can scroll past all the ._ files, is there a better solution? > Anyway can anyone suggest some terminal command magic to train the OS > to omit the hidden files? > > Thanks > > Andrew in Ann Arbor > > -- > You received this message because you are a member of G-Books, a group for > those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books). > The list FAQ is athttp://lowendmac.com/lists/g-books.htmland our netiquette > guide is athttp://www.lowendmac.com/lists/netiquette.shtml > To post to this group, send email to [email protected] > To leave this group, send email to [email protected] > For more options, visit this group athttp://groups.google.com/group/g-books > > Support for older Macs:http://lowendmac.com/services/ -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Books, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
