I have a small disk partition to store files and folders of materials for a friend who uses Windows. Photoshop cs tools. After installing BlueHarvest on my Panther (10.3.9) system I dropped in on the arrow, as instructed in the Cleaner tab. It found six.DSstore files, but failed to remove them. The free app TinkerTool 5.0, which has many functions, can be used on Mavericks to disable creating.DSStore files on network volumes, but I do not believe this has any effect on.DSStore. Take a look at Death to.DSStore. I found that overriding HFSPlusPropertyStore::FlushChanges with a function that simply did nothing, successfully prevented the creation of.DSStore files on both Snow Leopard and Lion.

Nothin gnew under the sun:
This has been standard System 6-7-8-9 Mac OS X 10.0-10.1-10.2-10.3-10.4 etc. behaviour regarding disk/floppy/media-handling of trashed files. It probably also was like the pre System 6, but that I can't remember…

This is a godsend. I installed it and my only issue is that there should be some default settings that include more.I may have several computers to install this on and its kinda a pain to add each document resourse fork setting. Now i don't have to be so nervouse about using FinderCleaner.

I've got a couple server accounts which support WebDAV which means I can mount those as disks directly in the Finder like any other disk, it's very convenient. Even for editing with BBEdit there's an advantage to using this technique although BBEdit allows 'editing' via ftp or sftp. When you edit with ftp the modified date and time is sometimes confusing because of the temp file which BBEdit saves as you work. With WebDAV the date and time remain understandable. It's also sometimes very convenient to just pop open a remote file with TextEdit.
Anyways.
I've implemented the Terminal based fixes I've found here to stop the creation of the .ds_store files but I always seemed to lose the 'feature' after a while for one reason or another. ONYX could not stop them either.
Blue Harvest did not seem to stop them at first either but then I added the mounted disk as a folder within the DS_Stores tab and it works just fine.
Probably the best thing is the prevention of those pesky little ._whatever.xxx files, no more hunting them down, they're like weeds. I added all the common extensions which I use to the Resources tab.
I've already sent Ross a donation, it's worth it.

Hallelujah! Now my Windows buddies will stop giving me crap! I applied to all of our web servers and it worked just as described!

Same for me. Finds a lot .DS_store files but fails to delete them. Also does not delete any resource forks.
I cannot create a .Trash folder the SMB share in question, as it it tells me every time I am deleting a file it tells me that the file will be deleted immediatly.
Maybe that is why it does not work?

And Rob you were wondering over on MacCentral why Apple didn't enable storing of Spotlight index files on the server by default :) If people complain about 2k files what are they going to think of 100 MB ones?

billbarstad,
The problem you had is (hopefully) fixed in the new version, 0.7.2. You can download it using the link in the article above.
Ross.
Icarefone 5 4 0 8 percent.

Not yet.
You'll need to update the link. It's still the 11/20 version.

The download link has been updated as of about 7:00 PM EST U.S. ( 01 Dec. 05)
I emailed Ross.
So if you tried earlier try again.

err.
Make that 11 Nov. 05. I'm getting a little ahead of myself.

It seems that a disk has to appear on the desktop to allow dragging to the 'Cleaner' tab. I only have disks shown in the Finder Sidebar and they can't be dragged onto the Cleaner (result is, of course, removal from the Sidebar). Use Finder->Preferences->General to have disks appear/disappear from the desktop.

When you've selected the disk from the sidebar you can drag teh 'proxy icon' to the cleaner section. The proxy is the icon to the left of the name of the volume in the title bar of the window - this item is 'draggable'.

I am unable to drag the 'proxy icon' to the cleaner section. It refuses to accept it.

Works for me. You have to open the folder you have in the sidebar and then in the window displaying the contents of that folder drag the small icon left to the title(name) of the window to the prefpane. In the prefpane you have to drag it onto the harddrive symbol itself.

There are several 'work-arounds'. I have not tried these. Maybe I could be motivated. I have Windows XP in a virtual machine.

1) Tell windows file server not to store the files on the server:

Iexplorer 4 3 7 tablet.

2) Tell Mac client to skip hidden files.

As you would have to disable writing of hidden files on every mac that could connect to your share, a better option would be to stop this at the share and not on the clients.

All you need to do is to edit your share config (for example in Linux in /etc/samba/smb.conf) and add the following option into your share config:

Now no Mac clients can save any files with those patterns to your share.

[ At one time, Apple used the open source version of samba. So, I assume the veto option was present. Not sure what Apple has done in the latest version. ]

Summary of possibilities. At one time, there was a command line to turn off some or all of these hidden files. Didn't work in Mavericks. Don't know if it was restored in Yosemite.

Not sure why these files would interfere with backup. There files like any other hidden file.
