At the risk of drifting off-topic, and re-opening old wounds, why
do we have .DS_Store files? Couldn't everything stored in them be
stored in HFS+ meta data? Wouldn't that be better all around? Maybe
only read & write .DS_Store files on non-HFS+ volumes?
There is no more hfs+ metadata left to use. The new extended
attributes post-date .DS_Stores but could, theoretically, be used.
Having an adaptive strategy makes some sense to me too.
Is there a resource online describing the content of .DS_Store?
No. The contents and structure is private.
