Hello all!
Sorry about length. I probably brought this one on myself soo....
I'm at a client's office and I'm on digest, so any replies to me
directly <email@hidden> would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to
ridicule me otherwise and I'll get with the laughter on the digest when
I can catch up.
Thank you all in advance:
OS 10.2.8
Telling app "Finder" to:
get entire contents of folder "disgustingly long name folder with no
business on a machine" of the desktop
chokes with "Finder out of memory error" between 400 and 415 nested
files at varying depths.
Works same way on G4 Server 10.2.8 w/256 MB RAM as it does on my Al 12"
10.2.8 w/640 MB RAM.
Tried Arthur Knapp's most non-heinous FastDirFiles(f) which burped
while trying to coerce exceedingly long folder path to string
I'm pretty sure I'll have to go the recursive route. Some files are
over 15 levels deep. Any recommendations / snippets are much
appreciated.
A few questions:
Known limitation on data size of variable in AS?
Path name length limitation in AS?
Known limitation on Finder memory?
Total item count issue?
