Opens the .DS_Store files macOS hides in every folder.

About
Every folder macOS touches gets a .DS_Store file, and DS_Store Inspector shows you what is inside one: which icon the folder was given, how its contents are arranged, and where the window was last left. It is a read-only viewer, so looking costs nothing and changes nothing. Useful when a folder keeps behaving oddly or a build is shipping files it should not.
