Labas/Hi Mariux,
This one will explain everything:

Write a small bash/python/ruby script that would work as cleaner before sending files to other OS, while in Unix/Linux system they should stay invisible. "." makes files invisible here, this kind behavior comes from Unix systems.

P.S. MacPartija tikriausiai būtų geresnė vieta klausti, paprasčiau ir greičiau ten būna.
 
There is also this (see attached pic)

Type TRUE at the end of the first line when you do want to see them.
