Thank you I.S. and all who replied! :-) It's my understanding that [NSFileManager fileAttributesAtPath:traverseLink:] will do fine for a single file but for directories it won't include the sizes of the subdirectories as Finder does. That's what I got in my testing as well but maybe I'm missing something?
As for not using Carbon I suppose there's no reason I can't use it. I was just thinking with Finder going away from Carbon and since I'm just learning Cocoa I was trying to avoid it if I could. But if it's the best way I can use it... Thank you very much, Rick ________________________________ From: I.

See -[NSFileManager fileAttributesAtPath:traverseLink:] ... it includes a fileSize attribute. -- I.S. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
