This post-processing script uses the dot_clean command to delete ._* dot underbar files:

Groovy: Select all

{ source, target ->
	system 'dot_clean', '-mvf', target.dir
}

:!: macOS may create ._* dot underbar files to store Finder information, Unix permissions and xattr metadata when processing files on an external USB flash drive that is formatted with FAT or exFAT. Please read Re: Dot files and AppleSingle and AppleDouble formats for details.
