Hm, that would be the worst way. In the meantime I found a BSD Command
'du -hs' which can give me very fast the correct directory size. Can I
use it as an NSTask efficiently?

To the best of my knowledge, you'll have to traverse the entire file
tree within that directory. This is why it takes a while to calculate
folder sizes in Finder.app when you first turn on folder size
calculation.

Hi there,
I'm sure this question has been posted before, but I couldn't find a
satisfacting answer anywhere. I'm buidling an application which has
to go through a lot of Directories and get their sizes. I tried to
use the fileAttributesAtPath method from the Filemanager (and the
fileSize method to get it). It works perfectly for files but not for
directories.
It seems to me, that the NSFilemanager doesn't count the sizes of the
dircontents but shows something like a internal size information.
Probably to safe time, I'm not sure. Any idea to get the dir-sizes
fast und correct?
Best regards
Dominik
