I am starting to work with Symforny -- a php5 framework. I have a tm project for my sf project, but have discovered that the existence of the ._files is interfering with the execution of the symfony command (ie it sees ._schema..xml as "empty" and does not use the correct schema.xml file).
I found 19.4 in the manual, and I want to know if that is my only option -- I would rather not sacrifice metadata.
Not really any way around that, at least for editing files directly like that. Though it would be nice to have a new halfway pref, where it would save metadata only if it didn't require a file.
The best way around the issue entirely would be to use subversion or similar to manage the project, or you could use some sort of mirroring software to keep a local and remote copy in sync. Either one should ignore the metadata when it transfers.
