Ignore Thumbs.db
I just did a propset svn:ignore on Thumbs.db for the target of '.' recursive
In other words, to ignore thumbs.db wherever it is in forrest SVN.
This has resulted in every file it seems being modified.
Therefore I want to confirm if this action is ok to commit.
Thumbs.db are windows generated files that get created whenever a directory
is viewed and that directory has images inside. It's an automatic thing that
I will try and turn off somehow, but it has the effect at the moment of
sticking thumb.db wherever I go.
The bit I don't understand is why they get committed when I don't explicitly
Add them with svn add. (Unless someone else put them there or when a
directory is added in its entirety.(?)
Maybe there are too few to worry about just now.

The **/Thumbs.db should be deleted. Such files should never
have been added.
The svn:ignore should only be needed on the directories
which store images. Surely Windoze doesn't add them in every
directory, does it?

Sorry, missed this.
I did something like
svn propedit svn:ignore 'thumbs.db './' -R
from the command line.
This resulted in a 'svn:ignore + thumbs.db on every directory in forrest.
Are you saying I only need do it on root and the rest will inherit?
I'm worried this will be a massive looking commit for so liitle gain.
But if nothing is done, we could be manually deleting thumbs.db files
forever.

Hmm, IMO it would be save to use a pattern for the svn:ignore of our
root directory. Using it recursive would effect all directories but not
files (as I understand svn).
having said this. Which tool do you use? Which is the command you use?
I agree that thumb.db would likely never be stored in the svn.

Sorry, every directory is modified, I should have looked closer,
Maybe it's not too bad a commit as I first feared.
