Most of the time I use my chosen DAM tool to navigate my photo collection. Sometimes, though, I use the plain old Windows Explorer to browse photos in my photo collection, usually indirectly when an application such as Photoshop automatically turns on the thumbnail view in the Open File dialog. That unfortunately causes Windows Explorer to leave a pile of hidden files named Thumbs.db in every folder I visit. I find that annoying enough to write a quick and dirty little IMatch script to seek out and delete those files.
The script simply iterates over every file system folder known to IMatch and deletes any Thumbs.db files it finds. It doesn’t get much more simple than that.
