Portable hard drive shows hidden files (prefixed with ".")
My portable hard drive is showing all the hidden files and folders on it (the ones prefixed with ".", but not the System Information folder, interestingly). I don't have this trouble with any other drives, or elsewhere on my computer, so it seems somehow to be associated with this specific drive.
Of course I check to make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is turned off.
