Hi,



When I take a folder of files to a PC they are full of hidden thumbnail files (.~filename.jpg) that are annoying.



Can I remove all the hidden files from a folder of images using Terminal?



If I can, what is the Terminal command line.

    Tinkertool is really easy to use and might have other stuff you want to do. Just open it and select "show hidden and system files"

    That looks interesting but after I show the DSstore and .Trashes I still can't delet the hidden files.
