Those are Finder information files. The OSX Finder would cease to work
without them. I'm sure at some point someone thought this was a good idea.
Thanks, but I'm familiar with them. I just want to avoid them.
I used to write scripts to remove them after the fact, but it would be
much simpler/saner to just turn that off altogether.
Removing them by script afterwards is the way to go.
Yes, that's what I used to do, but it seems kinda silly to have to
remember to run a script each time I want to unmout a volume.
Worse, a lot of my clients and friends have issues with this as well -
should they all install some sort of tool and remember to run the tool
before unmounting a simple USB disk?
Searching around the web, it seems Apple's answer is "Yes"; I haven't
yet been able to find even a system config addressable through the
command line for this, and certainly not something in Finder prefs where
it should rightly be.
I hope I'm mistaken, but haven't yet found any way to turn this off....
