I use TotalFinder as a finder replacement.

It has a feature called "The Asepsis feature" which will redirect .DS_Store files to /usr/local/.dscache. Quite handy.



TotalFinder have actually de-coupled Asepsis from it. http://asepsis.binaryage.com/ is a free download.


Came here to say this. Thanks.

I love Asepsis. Those .DS_store files really bug me. Because I have to show hidden files to see Eclipse's .project and .classpath files, that means I also have to see the zillion .DS_store files.

Stupid, stupid file name choices by Eclipse.

(Period prefixes are default hidden on Unix, for all you Windows users.)

PS- TotalFinder is great too. Big improvement.

PPS- Tried TotalTerminal for a while. It's okay. iTerm2 is enough better that I switched.


Its worth pointing out that this can cause issues with Xcode 4.2 as described on http://asepsis.binaryage.com/#known-issues


From the TotalFinder preferences menu:

"The Asepsis feature has been removed from TotalFinder since version 1.3.0

If you are interested in this functionality, please check out a separate project asepsis.binaryage.com.

For migration info please read asepsis.binaryage.com#migration."


Ahh thanks for the tip.. I didn't even realize my TotalFinder has not updated.


Holy shit, I just bought a copy of this app and I don't even care about .DS_Store files. BEST Finder improvement ever. Thanks!
