Short: Remove junk files created by emulation software Author: mpl_pl@poczta.onet.pl (Marcin Labenski) Uploader: mpl_pl poczta onet pl (Marcin Labenski) Type: util/dir Version: 1.2 Architecture: m68k-amigaos >= 2.0; ppc-amigaos; ppc-morphos Distribution: aminet Uaemremover ----------- Have you ever shared data using CF card between UAE (FA-UAE in particular) and 'real' Amiga? If so, you should noticed lot of .uaem files created by the emulator. In this files UAE stores attributes of files that are not available in native file system used in the emulator. If you copy data from CF to your Amiga FFS/PFS drive you will get lot of useless junk files. In addition if your OS on the machine where you're emulating is macOS, you may get more junks - HFS resource forks (files prefixed with ._) and .DS_Store files. All these junks can be removed with uaemremover tool. The tool can be run from Workbench or from Shell. Running from Workbench ---------------------- Double click the icon and the GUI will appear. At first you should specify directory name to look for junk files. You can enter directory name directly or use 'Browse' button and select it using a requester. By default the tool looks for .uaem files. Mark 'Include resource forks' checkbox to also look for resource forks and .DS_Store files. Next, hit 'Search' button and it will start searching - it may take a while. During the operation, each junk file found will be added to be list titled 'Found files to delete'. When the search is finished you can: * browse the list * remove selected item from the list (not from disk!) - hit 'Remove from list' * clean the list - hit 'Clean list' button * remove from your disk all the items shown in the list - hit 'Delete' button After pressing 'Delete' the files will be removed - you should be able to see how they disappear from the list. You can stop the operation at any time by clicking 'STOP' button. When it is done you can look for junk files in another directory or just quit the tool. Running from Shell ------------------ PATH/A,INCLFORKS/S,TEST/S PATH - directory to look for junk files INCLFORKS - include HFS resource forks and .DS_Store files (as junks) TEST - do not remove - only display on screen what would be deleted If the command is called from Shell without any parameter, it will start GUI. When any parameter is provided it will run in Shell only without displaying GUI. In such case, PATH parameter is mandatory. Unless TEST switch is used, the tool will immediately remove found junks (without asking for any confirmation!). History ------- 1.2 - support for WB 2.0, AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS 1.1 - fixed issue with not including .DS_Store file - performance improved - using ExAll instead of posix OpenDir - performance improved - more rational GUI updates - running the command without any parameter now starts GUI - GUI option removed from command syntax
