One enumeration per candidate directory shouldn’t be inefficient. That’s the order of magnitude of what the Finder does to open a window. If necessary, you can do a single directory enumeration hierarchically from the common ancestor directory of all the files, skipping subdirectories that don’t contain possible sequences. That’s the minimum setup you can do, if the per-enumeration setup is too expensive. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
