There doesn't seem to be any key in the info dictionary for the
current item's fullpath.
Huh? You mean the enumeratedItem from your original code snippet? You
never indicated where you got that from. I assumed it was already a
full path. That's how your code snippet used it.
If you're instead getting a relative path from an NSDirectoryEnumerator,
you should combine that relative path with the original directory path
that you passed to -[NSFileManager enumeratorAtPath:]. The
documentation for that method shows you how to do that with
stringByAppendingPathComponent:.
If you really are using NSDirectoryEnumerator to scan a large hierarchy
for applications, be sure to use an inner auto-release pool to clean up
intermediate objects as you go. Also, once you detect that a path
corresponds to a bundle (+[NSBundle bundleWithPath:] returns non-nil),
use -[NSDirectoryEnumerator skipDescendents] to avoid enumerating the
contents of the bundle -- unless you're really interested in
applications buried inside of other applications, it will just be wasted
time.
Yeah, I found that out the hard way. I just check for bundle or .app and
when I hit one, I immediately check its creator code. If it's not the
one I want, I skip descendents and it works fine. Before that it would
iterate everything and when it hit a huge app like Garageband it would
take forever. And I am enumerating from the vol. root.
You were right - I tried using the item returned from the iterator for
the fullpath and it works fine. Thanks for the help!
