\nTOKYO (MacHouse) – It was just a couple of days ago when we last introduced the first Mac<\/strong> application in about 1 and a half years. And we are ready to introduce another Mac application. This new software release is called DotsSweep<\/strong>.

\nDotsSweep is a small desktop application that lets you delete invisible files (ones whose file names start with ._) in a folder of your selection. Actually, you can clean up multiple folders all at a time.<\/p>\n

If there are invisible files in a folder, what’s the big deal? The question depends on how you use that folder. For example, if you use Xcode<\/strong> to develop iOS<\/strong> or Mac applications, that can cause a serious problem because referencing files directly to an existing folder can prevent you from sending a binary to iTunes Connect<\/strong> with Organizer<\/strong>. Also, if you have a folder that contains image files, importing it to other operating systems like Windows<\/strong> can make invisible files visible and make a mess.
