Prevent .DS_Store file creation on network volumes
Authored by: Anonymous on Dec 05, '06 12:32:50PM
Wrong.

Thumbnails are stored individually in the resource fork of the file, which is stored as ._filename on non-HFS+, non-AFP volumes. Windows's thumbs.db file only holds thumbnail images for the pictures in that directory.

Maybe the Finder just needs an option to "Store window and icon placement information only on HFS+ and AFP volumes"?
