One might want to consider it too :) The external drive scenario is one of the typical cases where mac os pollutes unnecessarily healthy file systems with unrequested rubbish. Ahhh... computers!

But I didn't know it was easier than what I got. These are my commands: sudo find . -name "._*" -depth -exec rm {} \; sudo find . -name ".DS_Store" -depth -exec rm {} \; I run a script with these lines everytime I'm about to disconnect my Iomega drive when I feed it with movies and music. Greetings! I had my own script to get rid of the infamous dot files. But I didn’t know it was easier than what I got. These are my commands:

sudo find . -name “._*” -depth -exec rm {} \;
sudo find . -name “.DS_Store” -depth -exec rm {} \;

I run a script with these lines everytime I’m about to disconnect my Iomega drive when I feed it with movies and music.

Greetings!

Because you can't say "just ignore .DS_Store files when zipping" as you can with svn/git/etc. You have to be very careful when sending stuff to friends. It's like when there are __MACOS folders in the zip files Mac Os creates. Why?! It's like an epidemic. Yes! that’s the worst thing.

Apple released an article detailing how to prevent them from being created on network shares, but they still will pollute every usb stick you insert into your computer, for example, apart from the hard disk drives.
