So is there a way to get my Mac to stop making these? Dragging file icons to arbitrary positions in a directory is not a feature I want.

- junon 5y agoNo because they include a lot more information than that. For example, where files in the recycle bin came from is stored in DS_Store. I know this because there's a bug in MacOS they refuse to fix where you can't restore files put into the recycle bin programmatically. This is because the API doesn't write the correct stuff to DS_Store. Further, the format is proprietary, and I've even read that its structure changes depending on how it's used. Frustrating crap.
