honestly - while a Mac is certainly less painful to use than winshit, putting rubbish files recursively into each(!!) accessed folder, on all thumbdrives ever inserted, that's something Jobs deserves to burn in hell for.

You'd want that, but a lot of programs do that, both in Windows and Linux.

e.g. The .directory files with the [Desktop Entry] spec by freedesktop.org
Dolphin has the option to enable/disable the feature

today I learned - using Linux at home since 2005ish and I have never had an auto-file generated on any USB attached drives of mine...

I have manually made .directory files (using a bash script) to set icons on folders.

It feels good when programs let you know what they intend on doing.
