Why was it necessary to bundle the _MACOSX and .DS_Store files with the zip download? I rarely see zip files with thumbs.db or desktop.ini files in them.

- bonzoesc 15y agoI'm assuming they put the files in a folder, right-clicked, and hit "Compress" in Finder. Finder takes the HFS+ metadata that can't be natively stored in the zip file and turns them into the files you mentioned.
- tomschlick 15y agoMost likely they didn't notice they were included in the .zip before they uploaded it. By default those are hidden on OSX.
- zobzu 15y agoits terrible when Windows (ouh ouh EVIL MS) does stuff like that it's normal when Mac OSX does it. Lets push this further. It's ok when github hijacks your right click (makes the logo download more annoying while pretending to make things nicer). It's terrible if MS/Mozilla/Whoever isn't hype right now does it. As simple as that. Sadly.
