Ds File For Mac Os X
When I compress a folder or file by right click menu of Mac OS X, the archived file contains.DSStore and MACOSX folders. Because I share the archived file online for download, Windows users mistakenly trying to search the file in MACOSX folder. I need to have a cleaner archive option. Feb 28, 2019 I have this issue on my mac: onedrive sync is blocked by.dsstore files. Onedrive is up to date. Mac OS is up to date. Using Office for Mac also up to date. Have tried terminal commands but none have revealed.dsstore files in my finder so unable to delete them. Have tried searching for files of that type in Onedrive via browser, nothing showed. With DS file for Windows Phone, you can: -Browse and manage files stored on your DiskStation -Stream video, audio files as well as view pictures and documents directly -Upload photos from your Windows Phone’s Camera roll up to your DiskStation -Add folders to your “Favourites” for quick access -Search files with advanced search options.
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:
In theory there are 3 sets of preference locations on a mac:
~/Library/Preferences
/Library/Preferences
/Network/Library/Preferences
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.

Why not just use 'find . -name .DS_Store -print -delete'?
Because -delete isn't available in GNU find.

Go not to the elves for council, they will say both no and yes
PLEASE, DON'T USE THE ABOVE FIND COMMAND, IT WILL DELETE EVERYTHING! For those who are interestsed, it is missing '-name' right before '.DS_Store'
I have now edited the original comment, so the above warning is not required..
-rob.
I was just getting ready to burn ALL my installers to DVD when i ran this to clean it up and when I went there next, it was all GONE. AND, it was ALL downloaded with a 56K modem!!!!!! :',',-(
You can do it in Mac OS X using this
find . -name '.DS_Store' -print0 xargs -0 rm
the -print0 says use NUL to separate the names for find.
the -0 tells xargs to expect NUL as the separator of the words
instead of using printf and xargs which will get upset if your directories have spaces or if you have a LOT of them, why not use -exec instead?
example:
find . -name .DS_Store -ls -exec rm {} ;
the -ls will list them out just before they are removed.
This should work well on any modern UNIX. You can run just about anything like this; suppose you want to batch-encode all your aiff files or whatever, find is very powerful with the -exec argument.
The main reason is that -exec will be slower, since a rm process is started for each file, whereas xargs will invoke rm by batch.

using xargs doesn't break with spaces in the names(look carefully, I enclosed the path in quotes), and it is probably a little faster because only one rm is spawned, instead of one per file.

The '-f' option will supress most warnings from rm.
Ahh, I'd never noticed the -t option for xargs.. thanks for moving it out of my blind spot.
Is there any harm in just deleteing all the .ds_store files on my machine weekly?
After going through the O'Reilly book on Samba, I've set up Jaguar to not serve up the .DS_Store files. So from a Windows machine, I don't see the extra files when I browse to the Mac's share.
What I would like to find now, is a way to make Windows 2000 not allow ANY 'dot' files to be written.
The only solution I've found is to either use the CP command or a program I just found on VersionTracker, called KopyMac.
using xargs might work.. but there are many cases where this will generate too many files for the rm command. There are hard limits on the length of a command string and on a large disk with many directories you'll come across this.
The correct syntax is then:
find . -name .DS_Store -exec rm '{}' ';'
The quotes are needed in case the file has a space in it. The ; can be escaped with a backslash rather than quotes but it's hard to put backslashes into this forum.
I would be interested in knowing what do these .DS_Store file do? Anyone?

Can somebody just tell me why all of a sudden I'm getting .DS_Store appear on my desktop and other places? I delete them all the time with DS_Store Cleaner and have also used script advised in this forum but it re-appears again and again.
I also noticed files/folders with my harddrive with names like .Trashes, .volume, .hidden, bin, dev. etc, var, usr, mach, tmp which I've not seen before? When I try and send to trash a message says that I either don't have sufficient privileges or they cannot be trashed because they are invisible.

Then relaunch the Finder, or log out and back in.
If later on you need to view invisibles again, just repeat the process with 'ON' instead of 'OFF'.
find -x / -type f -name '.DS_Store' -exec rm -f {} ;

Now in leopard, you can just call the 'dot_clean' command. Seehttp://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/dot_clean.1.html
