MacOs hidden files block scanning #112

Description

@MrYann

I execute rsgain on Linux Debian 12 through ssh and hidden files generated by the MacOs file explorer block the flow.

The music folders were previously opened by a MacOs computer, which generated numerous small files with the same name as the original files but preceded by ._ (and are thus hidden).
Example: in a folder containing song.mp3, after viewing the folder through "Finder" (the MacOs file explorer) it will also contain a small file named ._song.mp3.

It seems that those ._xxx files confuse rsgain to he point of doing nothing to the rest of the folder.

Sample output:

rsgain easy -Os '/DATA/Media/Musique/Joe Satriani - The Elephants of Mars FLAC'
[✔] Building directory tree...

[✔] Scanning directory for files...
[✔] Scanning '/DATA/Media/Musique/Joe Satriani - The Elephants of Mars FLAC/._03. Faceless.m4a'
[✘] Could not open input: Invalid data found when processing input

No files were scanned

The folder contains 14 tracks and I see no log file generated whatsoever.

Please let me know if you need more information.
