._ files picked up in game scanning #146

Copied over my ROM files by using a Mac OS laptop. Mac OS does this annoying thing of creating duplicate 'empty' files with a prefix: "._"+filename. Please make sure that the game scanning does not add these files to the gamelist.xml.

Unfortunately that's not a bug of this firmware but from batocera itself. The only way is to delete those ._ files that Mac creates.

Note that on a Mac you can navigate to the sd path in terminal and type dot_clean to remove all of them in all sub-directories.
