Hello Revers,
I just wanted to tell you, inspired by this topic, that I just
uploaded a little plugin that will do the job...
It's called Free us and it's in the Utilities-categorie of
revOnline...
It will erase those nasty .DS_Files and even, if you wish, zip this
cleaned folder...
I've been plagued by this enough that I thought I would ask...
For me, creating simple ZIP archives on Mac systems that contain a few files
is usually straightforward. However, I often find that when the ZIP

The terminal can help you here. Open terminal and change to the

dot-file removal is one of my standard steps when creating a
cross-platform CD. From what little I can tell, I assume those files are
probably Mac resource forks that only show up on a platform that doesn't
understand them (Windows). Is that the way you guys understand them?

Try the free program FinderCleaner which is able to clean (remove!)
the following:
- .DS_Store files
- Resource forks
- FBC files
- .Trashes
Here's the description from the ReadMe:
What is it?
FinderCleaner is a small application that helps you when you share
volumes

Actually, it stores Finder folder info such as icon sizes, display

This is only useful for OS X. Many (if not most) .dmg images contain one

Sorry... forgot to mention I'm using Stuffit Deluxe 9...
In the preferences I can set Ignore Finder desktop files, THAT
prevents copying all invisible files into the ZIP.

following formats:
gzip
bzip2
zip
DiskImage
Stuffit
StuffitX

Scott,
I have a plugin for MacOSX users which will display all invisible files
in a folder and you can also choose to make them visible. From there
it's an easy step to remove them.
Plugin named: altFileMgr
