That's me - Other people's bad behaviour is no excuse for our own, - Windows mostly stopped doing this over 10 years ago, Vista doesn't create thumbs.db files any more (there's still desktop.ini, but everything else now goes in ~ or NTFS ADS forks). - Just today I had to help someone asking me what this DS_Store stuff is when they received a .zip file created on a mac. It's clutter and a nuisance. You have changed the bug to be about a specific KIO issue, that's great, but i subscribed to this bug under its original title and culprit (Dolphin) because it was about getting rid of .directory files, which i think clutter up the place (e.g. shared network drives and zipped directories), not every OS hides dotfiles. Dolphin demonstrably supports not having the .directory files in the directory itself (see #7 ), for me personally the issue would be resolved by making this a configurable preference. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
