Are you sure it's copying the ds_store files; or is the mac creating
new ones on remote volumes as soon as new files appear (as it is wont
to do)?
This in the terminal will tell the finder or desktop services or
whatever to stop that:
defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true

Hi,
I am using a Mac OS X version 10.5.8
Using filemaker, we create tab separated text files that are
exported to the
originalFolderPath in the script below, before using a Troy file
plugin to
clean the text, so the file can be sent via EDI.
The problem I have, is when I use the script below to move the file
to the
destination folder which is automatically scanned by our EDI provider.
Although the script is only supposed to copy files with names ending
"inv.txt", it also copies the ds_store into the destination folder.
Because
all files in the destination folder are automatically processed by
our EDI
provider, we regularly get error messages for the ds_store files.
Is there anthing I could put in the script to prevent the ds_store
from
being copied.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Steve.
