Hi folks - sorry I didn't search the forums first, and I know this
has been asked before but I cannot find a *complete* solution.
I found some good sample code in this posting:
http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/message/2003/11/13/1214
the general consensus seems to be:
* Ignore files beginning with "."
* Ignore files in /.hidden
* Ignore files who's HFS "invisible" flag is set
* Remove some other "special" folders (like "/Network") - does
anyone know how to do this?
However, even following all of the above I am still getting too
many files!
If I follow the above techniques, and i look at my "/" directory, I
still get the following "bad" items:
/etc <dir>
/mach.sym
/mach.sym (this second one is a sym-link to the first)
/tmo
/var
Any ideas?
Each of these are symlinks to hidden files. So just ignore files
that point to hidden files.
