--cleanup removes `.DS_Store` #1506

--cleanup deletes the .DS_Store from the directory. This is not a problem as Finder will recreate it but OSXPhotos shouldn't do this. Exclude .DS_Store from cleanup. It might also be good to consider excluding any dot-file from the cleanup.

Makes sense to keep these, .DS_Store is used for preserving the display preferences in the folder (icons vs list vs details etc.), if someone is very picky on how his folders look it can get distracting.
