A Mac OS machine leaves dot files such as “.DS_Store” and “._Linux-Mint.iso” when any file is copied, moved or renamed via the Finder. Normally on Linux or Mac OS (and Windows?) these dot files are hidden by file browsers and even command line tools like “ls”. 

I had used a Mac to copy about a dozen ISOs to the ExFAT partition, sorted into folders. Ventoy displayed something like this on its boot menu: 

._dos-7.iso
._freebsd-12.iso
._freenas-11.3.iso
._linux-mint-x64.iso
._windows10-1909.iso
dos-7.iso
freebsd-12.iso
freenas-11.3.iso
linux-mint-x64.iso
windows10-1909.iso


Since there were more ISOs than this on my drive I had to scroll down to the next page of the boot menu just to see any of the real ISO entries. 

These AppleDouble dot-underscore files contain metadata incompatible with non-Mac filesystems, that would normally be stored in a “resource fork” on an HFS/HFS+ or APFS formatted partition, completely hidden to the user. These files can be cleaned manually from a drive with a tool like Onyx, but that would need to be done every single time any ISO file was modified (moved, copied, renamed) on any Mac. 

Ideally the solution to this is for Ventoy to ignore and hide any dot files it encounters, regardless of whether or not they end in “.iso”. Just like “ls” does unless you do “ls -a”.

Hello, I would like to ask that, in the next update, you have the option to change the image of the main menu of Ventoy, because I don't know how to use source code, and I believe that most don't know how to use it.

dmg格式的镜像文件好像不可以用Ventoy这个软件进行装系统啊，这个需要怎么解决

Hello, I wanted to set custom theme by Ventoy Plugin but ventoy is still using own theme. Here is my configuration: On first partition (where are iso's) I have folder named ventoy, inside of it there is ventoy.json with content: 

I am very impressed with Ventoy, but reporting back that Hiren's boot CD will not load.

System is a Xeon server with a L5630 quad core.

Ventoy version is: ventoy-1.0.09b1

Is there a minimum USB speed needed? Successfully boots Ultimate Boot CD and System rescue CD isos.

With Hiren's, I could see the windows logo, but it reboots before it is fully loaded. Is there a timeout?

Can I customize the home menu of Ventoy?
