Get rid of ._DS Store files

Postby Karel Broer » Mon Sep 05, 2005 10:35 pm

I know there are some Servoy Mac users who definitly want to get rid of those irritating '._' files. Specially when you want to create a Servoy plugin (with Java jar compiling), these files could cause some errors.
There is a way to get rid of them; found this post on an Apple site:

When you use network servers a lot and access them by SMB/CIFS, AFP, NFS, or WebDAV, you get confronted sometimes with files that have the name '._DS_Store' or files that starts with '._'. MacOS X puts them there automaticly.
To prevent Mac OS X from writing these files:

- Open the Terminal
- Type (or copy / past) defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true
- Reboot the Mac

Note that without these .DS_Store files the Finder is not able to display al the file info (press APPLE-I) anymore...
