Deleting "._*" files

[David Bovill]

Really? yes - you used to / should be able to see these files in Rev - sure
I've done that in the last months. Is this only for the USB drive -  the NAS
here shows the dot files in Rev - I'll be connecting some Fat32 drives in
the coming weeks so would be good to know?
