Our designers use photoshop for mac and it spews out hidden files with the pattern "._XYZ.psd". It would be nice if irfanview just ignored these files when browsing back and forth.

No, it would have "._" then the file name.
For instance, for a file called "Picture 1.png", there would be another file called "._Picture 1.png".
It's extra info that HFS+ supports but that FAT32 and NTFS do not.
Thus, when a file is transferred from Mac OS X to Windows, that extra file gets created to preserve the info.
The solution to this would be to have a preference to ignore files that start with "._"

Ah, this clears up the case, and so with any format.
A rather silly thing by the way to give the info-file the same extension.
I don't think IV is capable to solve this at the moment. The command-line only has /filepattern="x" which is a preference,
not an exclusion.
So for the moment it should be done with some kind of pre-action to change the extension of these files into something not
recognized by IV.
For example with the commandline (in the proper directory) :
ren ._*.png ._*.npg
before running Irfan View. And these 2 actions can of course be merged into a .bat-file.
