Hey Picapport Community,

How I can hide the dot-underscore-files in Picapport?

Dot-underscore-files are files automatically added from Mac for additional Information (like DS_store-files).
They are usally hidden on Mac but Picapport recognize them and try to interpret them because they have the almost the same name like the original file including the .jpg ending (with ._ in front).
So I get always 1 MissingPicture for 1 original. -_-

How to fix this through Picapport?

guess I found a way with the Picapport Addon:

https://wiki.picapport.de/display/PICE/PicApport+Add-on%3A+PrivateFileFilter

this should really be soon implemented in the normal version as it is already shown on the server parameter list.
I am not sure if its possible but it would be helpful for this purpose of the hiding of._-Files to define that only the first 2 letters of the filename are searched for. Otherwise strangenamed real photos could be victim of the crawlerexeption.

Special thanks to the Autor of the Addon: E. Schreiner
