DotOff v2.3

DotOff deletes invisible files from a folder you specify. USE WITH EXTREME CAUTION. Read on for more information.

About - Short version

DotOff deletes files such as .DS_Store from a folder you choose.

About - Longer version

Under Mac OS X, invisible files are created by the system all the time. These files can store things such as the view of a window, the label of a file, the sort order of files in a list, the position of icons. This is great, except when you view the contents of a folder on anything other than a mac. (You'll see what looks like copies of the same files twice, one will be unopenable as it's just an OSX reference which is useless to Windows and Linux users). Deleting these files can prevent confusion to anyone who isn't a Mac user.
