Hello everybody,
Can we make a rule.
When you upload something to AS, please remove the ".DS_STORE or Thumbs.db before you do it.
In windows you can turn it of: Do not cache thumbnails.
Perhaps it is the same in Mac OS X have't check that yet.
/Orange
yea Orange has a point. those are point/use/sense-less.
...Perhaps it is the same in Mac OS X have't check that yet.
On mac you can show hidden files - those files should then be visible.
I believe the key combo to access these prefs is [ Apple + J ]
There is also sometimes a hidden MACOSX folder if a whole folder is compressed at once on a mac.
WinZip can choke on this folder, causing extraction to be terminated early.
I don't think you can do much about .DS_Store, but Thumbs.db is kinda annoying.
There are fixes for both of them, though, you know.

And just do searches for Thumbs.db and delete them.

This will not be a rule, just would be nice if people did that.
Just as a note, WinRAR has no trouble with any archives made by OSX.
I've actually been saved by the MACOSX folder; I packaged an InDesign file, and two of the four fonts it used were hidden in there, with null files put in the regular directory.
