minus-squareHawke@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up39·13 days agoSeriously fuck thumbs.db anywhere it can be found. THIS IS WHY NTFS HAS ALTERNATE DATA STREAMS, USE THEM YOU FUCKERS YOU CREATED IT.

minus-squareHawke@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-213 days agoYes well you’re not wrong. Although I use ext4. For Linux, the equivalent is Extended Attributes, although they come with significant limitations.
minus-squarethermal_shock@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·13 days agoEasiest fix, change the folder view to another, like “list”, then back and it won’t be locked anymore. Might take a second or two, but will unlock.
minus-squareHawke@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·13 days agoNot sure what you’re talking about. “Locked”?
minus-squarethermal_shock@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·edit-213 days agoYou mean list? Click these icons and change the folder view from icons to something else, like “list” or “details”, then thumbs.db can be deleted without windows bitching. You can also change under View menu at the top.
minus-squareHawke@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·12 days agoNo I mean “locked”. I don’t care about windows bitching about these files, I am offended that it shits them (and “desktop.ini”) all over everywhere. It’s a total hack, and pathetic for a company the size of Microsoft.
