Simply delete .DS_Store file as well as ._xxxx in multiple folders with one magic trick.

Hello everyone,

I am looking for a program that would allow me to delete files with this type of name ".DS_Store" as well as the files "._xxx" in different folders, these files are created when I copy from a mac to a disk in exfats or in fact, that I would like to transfer to my Amiga.

I tried a lot of programs found on OS 4 repository and also file and directory Opus and even Dirmeup but none of them suit me.

On mac I use Easyfind, I look for the files to delete in the whole disk, it finds them I select everything and I delete.

Does this exist on Amiga or an arexx script?

Thank you for your help.

Not too shy to talk

I once made a script in Directory Opus 4
that batched renamed mod.songname to songname.mod
on all files that matched the mod. pattern.

Should be pretty simple to do a script to delete
Mac .DS and ._XXX files.

I uploaded a couple of scripts to os4depot. The archive is named Delete_DS-files.lha

Should it be "urgent" here is the script.


.KEY DIRECTORY/A

.BRA {

.KET }



; $VER: DeleteAllDS_StoreFiles 53.3 (13.03.2019)

; Recursively delete macOS DS_Store and ._ files in the given directory

    

LIST "{DIRECTORY}" PAT=#?._#? ALL LFORMAT "DELETE %p%n" >T:DeleteAllDS_StoreFiles.{$$}

LIST "{DIRECTORY}" PAT=#?.DS_Store ALL LFORMAT "DELETE %p%n" >>T:DeleteAllDS_StoreFiles.{$$}

REQUESTCHOICE >ENV:DeleteAllDS_StoreFilesAnswer.{$$} Warning! "Do you want to delete all .info files in {DIRECTORY}?" Yes No

;DELETE "{FILE}"  

IF $DeleteAllInfoAnswer EQ 1 

    ECHO deleting

    EXECUTE T:DeleteAllDS_StoreFiles.{$$}

    Echo "All .info files deleted"

ELSE

ECHO "Not deleting"

ENDIF

UNSET DeleteAllDS_StoreFilesAnswer.{$$}

DELETE DeleteAllDS_StoreFiles.{$$}

it lists all the .DS_Store files to a script file in T: Before proceeding to delete it asks for confirmation to start the process. ("no" will abort).

Hi all,

Thank you very much for your help, In fact Apple has introduced for quite a few years without me knowing this function in the Terminal "DOT_CLEAN" and then the path of the disk or USB key.

And that's it.

But I would have preferred to do it on my X5000.

Unfortunately I can't find it on OS4Depot?

Thanks for the script.

Silly question, how do I use the script?

Quite a regular


protect script +s

script dir

Or just


execute script dir

I don't know what the problem is, but when I want to use the script it tells me "EXECUTE: Invalid directive"?

DirScanner (68k program on Aminet) allows you to find all files that ends with .xxx.

Works fine under AmigaOS 4.x and I used it to delete .wav files en-masse after converting them to .mp3 files.
