When copying files from a Mac to a volume formatted with NTFS or other
Windows-compatible format, for each Mac file it also creates a second
file with the same name but with "._" prepended to it.
E.g., this:
MyFile1.txt
MyFile2.txt
...becomes:
._MyFile1.txt
._MyFile2.txt
MyFile1.txt
MyFile2.txt
This is course annoying, and worse, for many people I run into it's also
confusing as well.
Strangely, the otherwise-usability-conscious Apple has provided no
Preferences setting in the Finder for this sad behavior.
Anyone here know if there's some command-line option we can set to tell
the Mac to stop doing that?
I used to write scripts to remove them after the fact, but it would be
much simpler/saner to just turn that off altogether.
