macOS resource files appearing in Visual Studio Code

This has never been an issue before and I don't know if it's Mountain Duck or VS Code causing the problem, but whenever I edit a file in VS Code, a file appears in the file tree with the same name as the file prefixed with ._

I have searched and google suggests Mountain Duck doesn't save resource files. Indeed, if I view hidden files in finder, or Cyberduck, the files don't appear to be there. However, I can open them in VS Code.

I have previously been using Big Sur with no issues at all and have just got a new (to me) mac using Ventura and the problem has just appeared.

This could well be a VS Code issue, but I just don't know where to begin solving it.

When applications save metadata for files this is usually stored in extended attributes on a filesystem. Because the filesystem mounted by NFS does not support xattr the data is instead saved in an additional metadata file named ._*. By default Mountain Duck does not sync these files with the remote storage.

I see, you mean it's there in the folder on the mac, but Mountain Duck is not syncing it? I'm not sure why it used to not show, but it does now. It's very annoying.
