- mathias 15y agoAh, forgot about that one. Thanks! Added: https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles/commit/18044c4c882b84610412b43d0bb17f68e7f68bdf https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles/commit/18044c4c882...
- adamkittelson 15y agoIs there a way to avoid creating .DS_Store files on specific local volumes? I used to have my Dropbox folder on my secondary (NTFS formatted) harddrive so I could use a symlink to share my Dropbox folder across OSX and my Windows 7 Bootcamp install instead of having duplicate Dropbox folders for each OS. It ended up spewing .DS_Store files all over my employer's company dropbox folders.
- ammmir 15y agoif i'm not mistaken, as long as you don't open the folder in Finder, they shouldn't be created. obviously not an ideal solution, so maybe periodic housekeeping is in order: find ~/Dropbox -name .DS_Store -exec rm {} \;
- urza 15y agohttps://github.com/binaryage/asepsis https://github.com/binaryage/asepsis Asepsis enables you to redirect creation of .DS_Store files into a special, dedicated folder. With redirection, Finder works the same way but .DS_Store files are isolated in the dedicated folder /usr/local/.dscache.
