- Thread-topic: Folder Sizes
I should have added that I am getting a recursive list of items in the main
folder using a shell script -
set thisFolder to choose folder with prompt "Choose a folder"
set mainDirectory to thisFolder
set thisFolder to POSIX path of thisFolder
set folderList to do shell script "ls -R '" & thisFolder & "'"
....
I'm not too versed in Unix - is there a way to limit this to just all
subfolders of the main folder and to return the folder sizes and I can just
skip the Finder/Sys Events all together?
