Thanks for the response. I never noticed these files before. Are they created by TextMate, because I don’t see them anywhere else. Or are they created when load the thumb drive on the Windows machine? From the linked discussion in another response I gather it’s TextMate storing some other information, but they don’t always seem to be created. Does TextMate need them or use them? I ask because maybe I don’t want to delete them.

I see them also using Transmit (an ftp app).
