unmac Description

Cleanup Mac auxiliary files like .DS_Store, __MACOSX, etc When a Mac copies files to volumes that have a different file system it adds some auxiliary files that represent different kinds of metadata. This typically happens with memory sticks, network drives, SD cards, etc. Mac archivers like zip(1) add special files as well, like "__MACOSX", you'll see them for example if you extract a Zip file like that on Windows.The purpose of these special files is to let another Mac rebuild the metadata from them, Spotlight integration, etc. But if you are not interested in these features your directory or volume just gets cluttered. The command line based unmac utility will allow you to quickly and easily remove all those extra files.Installation: To install unmac on your Mac you will have to open a Terminal window, browse to the folder containing the unmac Ruby gem and run the following command from inside that directory (you will need administrator privileges to be able to run it):sudo gem install unmac-0.7.gem
