For reference, also see Re: Cover art display in version 2.07. See below picture. These files are NOT images, although the extension tells so. Nothing - at least not on the Windows Operating System - can deal with it. It is very obtrusive because the Windows "associations" to extensions (like .jpg) expect what's in such a file according to all the rules which existed since Windows and beyond. Thus, Windows herself will fail upon opening such a file, but I too can't deal with it, because all de existing code deals with - in this case - .jpg's and expects an image in there. Not some "metadata" rubbish from (I'm sure) some other OS or platform. Do notice that such ._ prefixes exist in a couple of appearance forms and foremost that it can exist for any file in your "system". Which system ? that is actually question number one. But say this is a NAS and you copy folders from it to a local hdd etc., then this files come along and the damage is done. So really, this acts like a virus and the more it is spread to systems which don't/can't cope with it (all Windows I presume) the more will fail. If I "enumerate" music files and these include .AIFF files, then I expect music to be in there and not some rubbish. I - and anyone else - CAN NOT change a million lines of code and check whether it is really a music file. Or an image. Or a Word document. Or x 1000 more ... Getting rid of these files seems easy : go to some main folder by means of Explorer, type the ._ in the search field of Explorer (top right corner), select the complete result and delete all by one shift-F5 press. And wait until it's back, I suppose ... Or wait till something fails on your NAS, might it originate from there and you just deleted it there. So the question : I am thick enough to not understand or know where this originates from, and what I see in communication here and there with customers, it is tough explaining because they don't even know what I am talking about. And honestly, when someone drags along a USB pen from somewhere, the ._ files are already in its root. Where does this sh*t originate from, and can we prevent it from happening, the origin not failing meanwhile (read : suppose this is from a NAS and you delete all these files in there, will the NAS still be OK and won't the files be back "tomorrow"). Please notice and try to understand : If this "belongs" to your NAS, then it can not be avoided that the files end up in your Audio PC just the same, *because* all is copied of our interest, and this includes all the .jpg's and .AIFF's and, well, no need to explain. This, while it makes the program at our end fail. Help. Peter PS: The content of the picture you see below was sent to me by a customer and all he did was downloading Coverart data from the Internet somewhere, for some album. Quite harmless. Do notice though that in this case it is quite explicitly visible (not in below screenshot BTW) because it was obtained in a folder named _MACOSX). Another datapoint is that I am pretty sure that the Aurender also contains this sh*t quite explicitly, but still not knowing whether it originates there (it could download its music data from some source doing it). Btw, all what seems common to me is Linux (even OSX is Linux based). |

Hi Peter,
I remember this from a long time ago. While I suppose it is possible to know what these files are for, all I recall is that these files where normally invisible under Unix...They come from any OS based on Linux and Unix...
They can contain different information depending on the application using them (folder attributes, indexation info, etc...).
There are tools it seems to remove them but how to not copy them from one OS to the other...

Files starting with "." (dot) are 'hidden' files (or directories) on Unix/Linux/Android and most probably OSX. This files resemble me on 'Thumbs.db' in Win world - never understood why and when they are generated (not wanted to learn  ) |

The folder which caused me trouble was also called _MACOSX & contained a file ._PatriciaBarber-GreenMill-3.jpg. It came with a legitimate paid download I don't think its malicious, probably an oversight by whoever set it up. Deleting it was all I had to do.

I "get" these files when I download or rip music on my iMac.
When I copy these files to my MusicServerPC they become visible.
They used to cause problems in XXhighend, but now I simply delete in Windows Explorer after copying and then its OK.

Colin, It came with a legitimate paid download I don't think its malicious Maybe a language problem, but I never intended to say or even slightly imply that there's malicious things going on. All I said is "it spreads like a virus" because ... well, it does (by means of our own copying). Otherwise I don't think this is overlooked etc. by the provider of your album. It is merely like it is not even known / visible. It is merely like Stanley just said (thank you Stanley) - it just happens while you are not aware of it initially. Like putting in a USB pen in a Mac (only for reading something !) and receive it back with those files in it. Maybe something changes in the Mac (OSX) then because remember, ever back this did not happen. And it should not happen, obviously ! Peter |

Not shure if this helps, but I just found this website: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/14980/why-are-dot-underscore-files-created-and-how-can-i-avoid-themwhich states: quote You can't avoid them. They're created to store file information that would otherwise go into an extended attribute on HFS+ (Apple native) or Unix/UFS volumes; in earlier Mac OS this would be the resource fork. Finder file operations will create them automatically to store the icon information, plus Time Machine stores some information in them so if you copy a file backed up via TM it will have that information copied as well. unquote I guess there is no way to prevent them from being created.... |

Hey Henk, yes that helps.
And so indeed it is so that a NAS is invoved. I mean, when that is shared between Windows and Mac ... there you go.
But it looks like these files also can freely be deleted (and when you access the folder of concern via the Mac they will be recreated in that folder and again will bug you when used from Windows).

Hi Peter,
I wouldn't mind at all if you added a bit of code to XXhighend which would delete these files everytime I "clear and refresh the Results List"
I presume this would be easy to program, would be very unobtrusive for us users, and you might as well get rid of those daft "thumbs.db" files at the same time:)
Or am I talking rubbish now?

Yes Henk, I am thinking about such a thing. But I am not 100% yet this is allowed, because I will be deleting things from a Mac source (think NAS) which uses it (but nothing will fail when they are not there, as I understood).
Thanks,
Peter

Peter, this is probably quite simple but I can't seem to delete these files once they are loaded to the playlist area without clearing everything. I seem to be limited to scrolling past them to the actual files, which means that I can't load multiple albums (or I can but play stops when it encounters the first such file.
I know that given my music is on exFAT formatted hard drive shared with Mac OSX, I am not able to permanently delete from the drive. But if I could delete from the play area, I could at least load multiple albums and get rid of the rogue files manually.
Regards, Peter

Sorry, I have answered my own question...I needed to enable right clicking on my trackpad so right click now works to remove rogue files from play area!

Peter, it is still on my ToDo to do something about them. But it looks that this will take a performance penalty.
We'll see.
Thanks,
Peter

Peter, could you not modify your software such that upon instructions to load into panel 2 and 3, files beginning with "._" are ignored?
