Hey Folks,
I know I can do something like this:
property f : alias "MyHardDrive:Users:xxxxx:Downloads:"
tell application "Finder"
set filelist to sort (get folders in f) by creation date
end tell
Unfortunately on my old G4 PowerBook it's rather slow, and I'm looking for a nearly instant solution.
I've tried using 'ls' in a shell script
property f : "/Users/xxxxx/Downloads/New Downloads/"
do shell script "ls -1tr " & quoted form of f This is way faster than the Finder, *but* strangely it only supports 'modification date' and not 'creation date'. The mod date is likely to change on me, so it's really desirable to use the creation date.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
