Yesterday I updated my Mac to 10.9 and I had a glitch (minor) with BH.
Sent an email to the developer and today I have the fix.
Excellent support and app.
Thanks Ross.

Well, maybe I did something wrong while setting up BlueHarvest.
If I did so, then everything can be explained.
But here is why I tried it. I store music and movies on a Network hard drive connected via USB to my Apple AirPort Extreme which itself is connected to my computer via Ethernet. I want to access to those folders using an Oppo BDP-105 networked universal player that can access networked volumes using SMB/CIFS and so, appreciate if it doesn't show up those annoying files.
The hard drives show up as networked volumes. They are formatted in HFS+ but as they are considered as networked volumes, I assume that the format is irrelevant here.
Well, whatever I move from my computer to the networked harddrive, there are two options :
- 1°) the original folder does not contain any of those .XXX scammed files and thus they do not appear on the networked volume ;
- 2°) the original folder does contain those annoying files and they are copied even though I ask BlueHarvest to clean up networked volume and they are still there after I select the folder an choose "Clean using BlueHarvest" from the contextual menu.
So, good idea... but poor execution as far as I am concerned. But considering the other comments, I must have done something wrong :-(

BlueHarvest 5.0.1 requires a 64-bit Intel Mac (see developer's site). Maybe your MacBook Pro is an early Intel model with Intel Core Duo (not Intel Core 2 Duo) processor that is 32-bit only?

Can that spotlight files be deleted to in next versions ?

Still, .Spotlight is only a single small folder, as long as it's deactivated for the USB drive(s).
Most importantly it does not intervene with play lists etc.

Still, I'm not sure if that amounts to 16.95$.

Blue Harvest looked like the perfect tool until I tried it.
It is so powerful in cleaning that even with the setting done it wipped all my external drives preferences. I lost all the colored folders and several cool settings.
I'm sorry, but I can't trust a software that overring user's settings.

???? If you have an non HFS Volume you simple should not use such cleaning tools !
Because all will delete .DS_Store in which suche cosmetic things like folder icons are saved.
