Oh dear..

For the past few days, I've been wondering where all the Compact Flash's free space was going.
I figured it out, last night, when I popped the CF into the Windows machine.
The hidden trash folder that MacOS adds to the drive, alongside the hidden .ds_store folders, and the hundreds and thousand of ._filename.ext files that I'm sure MacOS thinks is handy, but the Amiga sure as hell doesn't!

I've written a quick Windows .bat script to scour the Compact Flash and delete any and all hidden files, and will have to remember to clear it out every so often.
The basis of the script is from this page.

The CF is now much cleaner, and the MagicWB installer actually manages to finish without freaking out about how complicated the folder structure is.
Hurray!

Now that THAT's fixed, the Compact Flash is breathing a little better. It's no longer complaining about a lack of space (even though there's barely anything on it) and hopefully I can fit more than a few old PD games onto the bloomin' thing without it whinging.

Meanwhile

I'm SO far behind on this week's SmileBASIC game.
Should've been posted yesterday. Is still only half finished.
Aargh!!

I really need to turn off the Amiga for a while, and get some actual work done.
