I hate .DS_Store

Does anybody now how to prevent Mac OS X of creating .DS_Store files (at least for selected directories)? It’s so annoying as it comes in my so many times – especially when working with command line based version control systems like CVS or SVN.

I don’t understand why Mac OS X 10.4 still retains this „feature“ as the new meta-data storage methods should provide an alternative. *Sigh*.

  1. One could make a mach injection bundle that disables this ‚functionality‘ in the Finder. It would involve a little bit of reverse engineering, but if you’re interested, I could look into it. Would surely be an interesting project for the MacHackers in Bonn.

  3. The problem with SVN is that ignoring is not enough as the automatically generated files prevent svn from purging empty directories which can break scripts et al.
