>I need a good method to find the size of a file or folder exactly as displayed in Finder. I've tried every method I could find on the internet, from using the du shell utility with NSTask to using the Carbon file manager. I need something that will work under heavy load (processing hundreds or thousands of files). The methods I've tried, some of them work but fail under load. Others just don't return a accurate file size, or they work for some files/folders and mess up on others. What's the easiest way to go about doing this?
Somewhat belatedly, you may want to try out the FolderSweep code at:
http://www.brockerhoff.net/src/index.html
or at:
http://mattgemmell.com/2008/04/10/foldersweep-source-code
You can directly get the data and resource fork sizes for every scanned file.
