Please how to prevent system to write such files
.fseventsd/
.Spotlight-V100/
.Trashes/
to volumes ike photo-cards?
Thank you,
Karl
Why? For the first one, peruse the hits from a google search for fseventsd.
The second is the Spotlight index and associated info.
The third is the trash container on that disk. All disks and volumes have one or more.
why?
When I copy picture files to a photo card and went to a shop to print, their systems says there are unreadable files, no service, byebye
therefore

Those files are perfectly normal, any Mac will do the same thing. Find a print shop compatible with Macs.
What type of drive are you taking to the Photo print shop? If the drive is formatted Mac extended then that is the problem. Format that drive FAT32, or in Mac Disk Utility MSDOS FAT (which is FAT32). Then copy your photos to it and take it in.
It's not those other files it is the format the USB drive is using.

Printshop
I meent a store for foto and movie cames and some equipement in personally range which does possess automates for printing fotos from a few kind of data carriers.
Not sure, in europe is one shop which uses macs… Sorry
The fotos are used for privat or administrative uses, and are often needed just at time, no chance to go to an aeroplane to fly to GB or USA…
It is much easier Apple buys such an utility and builds it int its OS.
In the meantime I would accept some terminal lines to prevent a storage against that folders. I do not want to search on them objects via spotlight.
~ best regards meantimely, Karl
Would this be ok? It is the format I always use for this cards…
Yes that format is ok, can you delete the unwanted files before taking the card to the photo shop?
Yes, I can refer to them and delete per Terminal (rm -r objects)
I can see them in Finder and drag theire icons to the terminal window
so far so good, I would like to prevent to write these in other circumstances really useful objects.
is this a bad-mannered wish? 😉

Take the card to the store and see if this method works first, while you are there ask specifically about card format, file size limits and accepted types of file (.tiff.jpg.bmp etc)
Done! 😉 (thank you, this a first important step!)
Weeks ago, in former times I asked them to delete this objects on their PC for me.
(I give a resolution of 300dpi to the pictures, 18cm wide [about seven inches wide], jpg full „quality“, converted from my Olympus DSL to tiff, then to jpeg or immediatly to jpeg, holding the raw files for another time to select sections and holding the resolution as long as possible)

Let me know if they can now print your files, but I think you will have to delete the unwanted files manually every time ... I could however be wrong so if someone else knows how to we'll both learn. 🙂
The problem should not be those other files on the drive. Any and all photo print services would just skip over them. Even from a Windows computer there are files similar to those place on every drive, Recycler place in the ROOT and Desktop.ini placed in ROOT and every folder (Similar to .DS_Store on a Mac).
We still haven't found out what the Format of that drive is and or if it can be read on a Windows computer. Which is what I suspect the Photo place is running, IE Windows.
Ok it is a Fat32 format. Oh Well.

The format of the drive is MS-DOS:
Here's a screenshot of the OP's post.
Yup see my edit -Strike through-.
Yup, just arrived. I would also be surprised if this (osx files on card) really is the reason, but it needs to be ruled out as a possibility, if the pictures print then we have solution, if not .......
Unneeded files on external volumes?
