MacOS Error loading file /Volumes/DREAMCAST/##/._disc.gdi

[T-Maxx77]

Describe the bug
After making changes to the games list (ex. removing a game), and clicking 'Save Changes' I'm met with the error in the title: Error loading file /Volumes/DREAMCAST/##/._disc.gdi. It starts with the first game in /02/ and happens for every title/directory.
As you'd expect, there aren't any actual hidden files in the game directories, i.e. there is no ._disc.gdi.

If you rename the disc.gdi file in a directory (ex. ddisc.gdi) the app seems ok with it, but to be safe I closed th app, re-named it back to disc.gdi, reopened the app and it was still OK.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Make a change to the games list, like remove a game
2. Click on 'Save Changes'
3. See error

Expected behavior
The app shouldn't look for or expect any hidden files. I expect to make changes then save them.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Mac OS Catalina 10.15.5
• Browser Chrome

Additional context
My only work around after removing a game was to close the app, manually change the name of every single disc.gdi file, reopen the app, close the app, rename every file back to disc.gdi, reopen the app, and click 'Save Changes'.

Also note, this is after the first initialization of the card with the app. I was able to drag & drop all my games onto the card, rename them, sort them and save them all ok. It's after all that when I try removing a game and click 'Save Changes' that the error occurs.

Hi.
Unfortunately I have no means of testing the app on a mac.

That's unfortunate, is there any way I can help? Like a debug version or something? I'm not super versed in software but I'd like to help if can.

A few years ago someone made this for linux: https://github.com/jstolarek/dc-card-maker-script

I altered it for use on my mac and had it working. Maybe something there would help.

I'm seeing the same issue too, but I'm using macOS Sonoma 14.4.1.
Any idea about what could be causing this?
