That sounds pretty good. I think I'll go this way and take the little
work of implementing this. Thanks.

I'm no expert on this sort of thing, but I wrote an app that dumped
equations to the command-line app "bc" a few hundred times per second.
I had no trouble with it, so I would assume that if the savings in
using du-hs are significant, that using the NSTask would be the way to
go.

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
