Files starting with a full stop - MacOs - Trouble and fix

[jonners]

Hi all! 

I've had trouble with playback stopping when Moode (or rather MPD) encounters a 'hidden' file starting with a full stop.

My filesystems on the USB sticks I use have become polluted with these from the OS X/mac laptop I use.

The fix is to use the command 'dot_clean' in MacOs

dot_clean /path/folder

You'll need to know how to use the terminal to enter the command and the path to your mounted USB stick. The command df will help here ...

Thanks, Frusty. Those dots were a nuisance and my hidden files have now been trashed.
