Mixed Environment 1 PC and 1 Mac and .DS_Store
Posted: 28 Oct 2019, 17:14
I received a Mac and mapped my PC to access the Mac using SMB. I assigned the drive to W: on my PC. I maintain my Music on both computers using iTunes. I have the same library on both. I am subscriber the iCloud Music Library which maintains the same playlist and music on the Cloud however the files that are downloaded from the iCloud are not MP3. So I use Altap Salamander to copy the MP3 files from the Mac to the PC. This is is where the issue arises as the Mac stores alternative streams in a hidden file called .DS_Store and this drives Altap Salamander crazy. The error I get:
Error Reading Alternate Data Streams
Name W:\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\Trace Adkins\.DS_Store
Error: (58) The specified server cannot perform the requested operation.
With Ignore, Ignore All, Retry, and Cancel buttons.
Is there a way to get Altap Salamander to ignore the Alternative Data Streams?
Thanks,
