The problem with that idea is the recursive
loops and does not provide a file list. If it
provided every file and folder then I would
be able to filter out the ones I do not want.
For instance I do not want the package and
bundle files. Filtering is not an issue.
I will just use the script from
How about getting the detailed files? There may be information in the details
where you can discern whether or not a user would be able to see the files.

Yes, most folders and files can be accessed. But there ar
I am not mad. Maybe the looping is too fast for
my hard drive. I have a reasonably fast mac so
that could be it. But that is enough for me to not
use recursive even though I like it.

Hi there,
I think sometimes people on this list need to:
1: Put a cool washcloth on their foreheads.
2. Go and take a nap.
3. Calm down and be able to laugh a little more.
4. (I sometimes need to do this myself, and it helps!)
Cheer up guys!

I am the only user on this Mac. If someone else
uses my mac they use my settings.
For me there is not much needed to understand
when I list the file not using recursive it works and
sometimes when I list them using recursive it does
not work. It is the sometimes that bothers me and

I think you are missing the point JB. Permissions are a tricky thing. The user
is accessing the folders based upon his security token created at the time he
logged in. Suppose this is a file server, and midway through, the IT person
changed permissions? You will get an error trying to open that

OK, that really does sound like you are encountering a problem with the
combination of the code and your file system - not an inherent limit.
"File Lister 2" should only recurse as deeply as your file system (i.e.
it enters a recursion for each level of subfolder - but then exits it
again),
I would encourage you to file a bug report on that.
Even if there turns out to be a good explanation, it needs to be documented.

If I enter the following into OS X's Terminal:
find $PWD
the output is the over half a million folders and files in my
/Users/[your name here]/ directory. So none of the System level stuff
or anything from other User accounts if they exist on your computer.
It does include though all hidden files
I found some folders buried tn the folder I was accessing and I
forgot where I stored them. I do have more than 400,000 files
in the folder so it might be files and folders it is counting. The
script was going to list all files and all folders.

That is a good question. The way I found out it was limited is
I was using the code supplied in the File Lister 2 tutorial. I was
accessing a folder with a lot of files and subfolders but I do not
think it had 400,000 files and sub folders in it so I am thinking it
is limited to 400,000 recursive
