i've just connected the sony 650 to the macbook (version: 10.6.8) and after disconnecting the reader noticed that (on the SD card only) three folders were created: Spotlight-V100, Trashes, .fseventsd.

what are these for? i don't know the macbook environment at all, i only know that can't see these folders on the macbook desktop if i connect the reader - that is, there doesn't seem to be a "view hidden files" option, etc.

any idea?
Created by the OS e.g. Spotlight by the indexing system (can be switched off), trash - what it says etc. Can be removed on eject by "Hidden Cleaner" a Mac program to deal with system (.) files, just don't accidently use on the Mac's Startup disk...
