here is a little program i made because i didn't like see the .DS_Store files my mac left on the memory stick. now before and windows fans start trying to make fun of mac users, WINDOWS MAKES .thumb or some such file when it indexs. so any way, this program deletes them. It is in apple script if you care. in the dialog box type/copy and paste the name of the memory stick in the text box. after it starts wait a bit and then press continue on the new dialog box.

this is the same as typing

Code:

rm `find /volumes/<psp_name_here>/ | grep "/.DS_Store"`

in to terminal. but don't do that, if you want to do it your self type

Code:

rm -i `find /volumes/<psp_name_here>/ | grep "/.DS_Store"`

so that it makes you confirm deleting (like if you mess up).

please give me some input so i can make it better (if any onw uses it).
i made this for me, i'm sharing in case others care, so don't tell me this is useless

Actually, windows creates thumbs.db if you have 'thumbnail view' selected, which I rarely dont. But yeah, good idea. I hate those little files macs create...

Yeah and they are only generated for pictures...

...and you can turn the thumbs.db generation off by going into your Folder Options...

You could alternatively do:

Code:

rm `find /volumes/<psp_name_here>/ -iname "\.DS_Store"`

(Atleast that would work on linux, need to get myself a mac
