USBclean not removing files since moving to macOS Sequoia
-
Now this is interesting - USBclean has no problem removing the dot-underscore files on the same USB drives/SD cards using my other Mac which is running macOS Sequoia 15.1 (not the 15.2 public beta). So maybe it's worth you testing USBclean against the betas for 15.2?

Came here and registered to say I am having the same issue.
These files are a pain when copying music to my sdcard for my car stereo.
Is there anyway to use the "dot_clean" command in USBClean? I tried it in terminal and it worked for the one folder I tested on my FAT32 formatted sdcard.

@NostromoKane Im actually looking into
dot_cleanbut it suffers the same issue as the current method being used in USBclean. Im pretty sure it an issue with sandboxing....

unfortunately it looks like I need to do a major refactor/rewrite of USBclean to get this working on Sequoia....
Apple really likes to make it difficult for developers
Sorry to hear that. I hope it isn't too much work to get the problem fixed!
In the mean time I am trying to create an Automator script using dot_clean to clean those files on external drives.
If anyone has more experience with creating scripts any assistance would be appreciated.

Ive found a solution, and have this working for the version from my Store. This will be included in v4.2.
But, I do still need to figure out how to get this working in the App Store version though. That will take a few days as I am busy right now.
@SweetP Glad to hear you found a solution. I have the App Store version so I think I will just wait for the update to come.
Thank you for keeping us updated.

I now have a working solution for the App Store. It's going to be a bit more effort to setup than the version from my Store. But will restore removal of ._ files.
I still need to clean up the code a little, make some more adjustments to the interface to accomodate the new changes, and update the website with install instructions etc.
I'll release updates to both versions hopefully this weekend.
