Summary: Finder stores window settings and other info in .DS_Store files that it creates all over my hard drive. This is a terrible, terrible programming idea. It's also a constant nuisance when you're exchanging files with other machines, especially with non-Macs. If Finder wants to store settings, they should go in "~/Library/Application Support/Finder", for example. Steps to Reproduce: Browse with Finder and change some window settings. Expected Results: I expect my file system not to be littered with little files all over the place as a result. Actual Results: My file system is littered with little .DS_Store files all over the place. Regression: Forever. Notes: I heard that you were rewriting Finder for Snow Leopard. Please take this opportunity to get rid of the hated .DS_Store forever!
