Hello, Curiosity kills the cat, but I want to know and figured I’d ask here. Why does Apple drop .file/folder names everywehre? Example: I recently figured out how to get my Mac to see my NAS drive, which I am so tickled about. Now, in my NAS’s root directory there is a file/folder called .AppleDouble. .AppleDouble is also in every folder on the NAS. When I inserted an SD card that I use on my Stream into my Mac’s SD slot, I found, looking at it later on my Windows machine, that the card has a couple of new files/folders, .trashes .profile(followed by a string of numbers)) and a .filename with a .hex extension. I am simply curious as to what these are, why they are put there, etc. Can anyone explain? Thanks, Shannon <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net --->
