In a number of earlier digests, there was discussion about the "directory walker". I've copied that code into my script and, sure enough, it works exactly as advertised. However, in OSX, it also walks down through app bundles. I'd like to stop before diving into the bundle. However, I need to get the total size of the bundle (both data and resource) for later purposes. I've played with the "detailed files" function and it looks like I may have to use it to add up everything inside the bundle. I don't mind doing that (as Rev is really quite fast).


Near as I can tell, I'd have to use the "detailed files" function after using the directory walker in order to add up the bytes of both forks of all the files, and then run a modified version of the directory walker routine which would permit me to recognize app bundles and end up with a list that's similar to what the user sees in the Finder. (Alternatively, once I have the detailed files of the entire tree, could I parse through it and eliminate what I don't need?)

Here's what the directory walker sees (I've removed the enclosing folders to make it readable in this eMail):

Adobe ImageReady 7.0/Adobe ImageReady 7.0,0,949
Adobe ImageReady 7.0/Contents/Info.plist,14148,0
Adobe ImageReady 7.0/Contents/MacOS/ACECarbonLib,526041,518
Adobe ImageReady 7.0/Contents/MacOS/ADM-PNG,46781,2989
Adobe ImageReady 7.0/Contents/MacOS/ADMCarbon Plugin,882650,71737
(and lots more lines listing the stuff inside the ImageReady app)

So the big question is: How do I get the directory walker to recognize that it's encountered an OSX app bundle (ImageReady 7.0, in this case) and have it -not- examine what's inside. In the above example, it's already dropped inside the ImageReady bundle. Using the above example, what I'd like to end up with is simply "Adobe ImageReady 7.0" as the only line.

I notice that in the "detailed folders" listing, an app bundle appears as follows (for example):
Revolution.app,136,1535180800,1035608180,1068205493,1075788371,0,501,80, 777,????????


Note it is in the folder list, not the file list, has question marks for creator/type and a ".app" suffix on the name. I am assuming this will provide reliable identification.

When you encounter a folder of this nature, initiate directory walker for that folder alone (this is within your normal walk process - you will need to add this code), add up the components, and list it under the app bundle name with ".app" stripped. OK?

Well, I think it should work :-)

cheers

Thanks for any suggestions, Barry
