Suggested option: disable resource-fork writing #253

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Hi,
I'm using sshfs mainly to edit files on a remote host, but saving
"blah.cxx" frequently creates a "._blah.cxx" file.. which is bad under make
systems that do wildcard matching of the form "*.cxx"!

Options to change the default resource-fork mapping or to disable resource
fork writes (sending the output to /dev/null) would be handy, either at the
FUSE or sshfs level.  

I have no idea whether the implementation supports this or not.

You can't just disable or "fake" writing without confusing applications and the 
system. Some writers, like the 
Finder, may want to read what they wrote earlier. It's been implemented before. 
Look at the 'noapplespecial' 
mount-time option. Your mileage may vary.

If you don't know if the implementation supports something, the appropriate 
place to ask the question is the 
macfuse-devel forum.
