OK I found my problems:

1) I wasn't releasing the attributed string variable a. But this still didn't fix it so
2) I realized that one folder I was scanning had a file over 400MB and that held up the program for quite a while

So I just did some checks for file size to make sure I wasn't trying to read in huge files and it worked!

I am using NSFileManager's directoryContentsAtPath to see if files inside a folder can be initialized through NSAttributedString. However, when I go through the loop, some folders freeze up the app and partially the entire computer. For example, if I use the code with the pat /Documents it works fine - no freezes or anything. But if I try to do it with the root volume / it will freeze up pretty bad.

I use this in the tableViewSelectionDidChange notification:

NSArray *files = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] directoryContentsAtPath:p];
int i, count=0;
for (i=0; i<[files count]; i++) {
NSAttributedString *a = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithPath:[p stringByAppendingPathComponent:[files objectAtIndex:i]] documentAttributes:nil];
if (a) count++;
}

Any ideas why this would freeze the computer for some directories but not for others?

Thanks,
Kevin
