(Bash) Remove Dot Underscore Files - shaunchapman

Fri, 17 Apr 2009 11:35:58 GMT

Mac OS X creates files beginning with *._* to Samba shares when files on a Unix/Linux machine are accessed with a Mac. I use [Coda](http://www.panic.com/coda/) to access a Samba share on my development server at work. This is really annoying when checking the status of the Subversion repository. So, I've come up with a solution to remove those files while ignoring similarly named files in hidden Subversion directories. This command will ask you to confirm that you want to remove each file. For added convenience, I suggest making this an alias (add `alias dot_clean='find . -name ".svn" -prune -o -name "._*" -exec rm -i {} \;'` to the *.bashrc*, *.bash_profile*, or *.bash_login* file in your home directory). To clean a directory, simply type `cd directory_name` then `dot_clean`. Enjoy!

(Bash) QuickLook from Terminal - jrphelps

qlmanage -p foo.png, the image immediately pops up in a Quick Look pane. Even better, Quick Look supports slide shows. So if you cd into a folder of images and run qlmanage -p *.jpg, you'll be rewarded with a full-on presentation of your pictures. Other qlmanage flags of interest include -h (displays a help message) -t (thumbnail generation) and -f (a zoom factor to display with). The downside of qlmanage is that it's full of NSLog-style messages. Haber recommends you pipe the output into /dev/null as follows: qlmanage -p *.jpg >& /dev/null.
