Ignore .DS_Store files on OS X

Open taprobane99 opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Is it possible to have a Mac preference to ignore these files, as they often come up as mismatches. They store information on folder view settings so aren't very important. Every single folder has one.

I would suggest a glob pattern so users can decide wich files to ignore.

This is a bit of a problem, as quickhash will scan 50,000 files in a set of Mac folders, then spend several minutes preparing the display grid, only to discover that the 200 mismatches are all .ds_store files.

Maybe an option to ignore hidden files, which could be useful for all platforms.
