Prevent .DS_Store file creation on network volumes
"Even with this hint in place, the .DS_Store files will continue to be created on local volumes (which is a good thing). "
Prevent .DS_Store file creation on network volumes
obviously you need to get hired as a manager on the finder team and show them how it should be fixed.
Prevent .DS_Store file creation on network volumes
As one earlier poster said, creating .DS_Store files is NOT a good thing. It is a stupid pathetic hack, the sort of thing an amateur programmer would come up with. There are a dozen different ways one can imagine the Finder storing the various things it wants to know about how to display a particular directory, all of which don't have this horrible impact on the user. What absolute rubbish. A dozen different ways ? All of which don't have this impact (or worse) ? Go on then, name one. Just one ! There are plenty of ways of storing the info, it is just that they ALL have drawbacks. A particular, alternative, method might have a drawback that is not of much bother to you, but it could still be a big problem for other people, and possibly the majority of users. You are ignoring the possibiity, the likelihood even, that Apple has assessed all the different methods of storing this metadata, and chosen the one that has the least drawbacks, and the least negative impact, for the majority of users. Given the drawbacks of the alternative methods I know of, I'd say it is less a likelihood and more a certainty. |
