10.4: Prevent .DS_Store file creation on network volumes
It would be interesting if we could apply this preference to a network domain, so that all users in a company (for example) would automatically get the pref, as long as they don't overwrite it. That way users wouldn't need to remember to make this change, and everyone in the network would just behave "better" by this standard.
More Info: The Pref system is supposed to use a known order of searching to find a pref, starting at the top of the list, working its way down (I don't know if the order I gave is the search order, btw). If none of the locations have the pref set, then a default, choosen by the app is used. This would allow The same file to exist on all three locations, but allow an admin to set some network wide prefs in the /Network folder (not necessarily all the prefs either, just one key-value pair), somebody to set some prefs for the machine, and then the user to override the prefs for when they are logged in. I actually have never seen the /Network prefs used, but I've also never been in a managed macintosh network environment. Whether or not the network domain ever got implemented I don't know, and how the /Network/Library folder would even get created or accessed, I am unsure. Just thought it would be interesting to see this pref get set in the /network domain, so each individual user in the company would not have to set it each time they got a new mac or re-installed the OS, etc.
