Removing ._ files from ROM?
-
Thanks Guys,
I'll definitely change the way I'm putting the ROMS on, what's the best way of removing the ones I have on retropie at the moment?
-
To remove roms ? Via the samba (windows networking) share or cyberduck with sftp if you are not familiar with commandline.
-
@BuZz I tried to do it with via samba, but I can't find the ._ file
-
Cyberduck will show you the ._ files if you should choose to delete them manually. I believe you can even use the top right search box to identify all the ._ files in the current folder. Deleting them all at that point would just involve pressing 'Cmd-A' and right clicking to select delete.
-
I gave you a commandline earlier to use via ssh which will delete all those files. https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/ssh

Thank you chaps! much appreciated.
-
@BuZz I'm not terribly familiar with ssh, but can I enter the commandline you mentioned by connecting a keyboard to my pi via usb and pressing F4? Or is this different?
-
@RxGolfer the terminal is the same. Ssh is just a way to remotely log into a terminal.
-
@lostless Thanks! Sorry for being a little less computer savvy than I thought I was. Looking forward to cleaning up those files and then scraping for some artwork to finish the project!

As a Mac guy I've taken to using the Onyx AppleDouble removal method. I'd rather they not copy in the first place, but that tool works well. Once in a while I find I have to run it a couple of times, but other than that it works great. I've found (rather than individual folders) I can just use it on the main ROMS folder, and it works its way through quickly. If I'm fiddling with the Pi on my Mac anyway, it's an easy final step to remember to give it a sweep.

You should definitely try the Duplicate Files Deleter Program
