Autocreate files that prevent MacOS indexing of the CIRCUITPYTHON dive#691
Merged
Conversation
.. the price of this appears to be about 112 bytes of flash and 12 bytes of RAM, according to the stats printed during the build. It also uses up 4 directory entries (out of 128), but does not reduce the number of blocks usable for storing file contents. These are the same items noted in the Adafruit README for Trinket M0 as preventing MacOS indexing. Closes: adafruit#689

Do we want to implement this for all atmel-samd boards, or just the "non-express" boards. Is there any reason MacOS users would want file indexing enabled on express boards? |

If a user wants the indexing they can always delete the file. I would do it on Express versions as well because this also reduces file system churn. We currently don't do any wear leveling on the flash so stopping metadata writes will prolong its life. |
