Hi and thanks in advance for your help.
I have a MBP running Mac OS X 10.7.5.
I frequently backup my media (music, movies, etc.) on external hard drives (about 500GB).
I would like to have a file that lists all the folders and subfolders on a drive.
I have found several threads with command lines and scripts but none of them have worked.
I hope someone can help me with this !
Thanks !
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
The best I've found at the moment is http://www.jonn8.com/html/scripts/misc/List_Folder_Contents.html, however, it maps both files and folders, so I'm working on changing that.
Edit: It seems like the following script I wrote will work; I'm not sure as it also maps the folders within an app, and sine I have a few apps, it still hasn't finished yet.
property kFileList : {}
set source_folder to "Macintosh HD" as alias
my createList(source_folder)
on createList(item_list)
set the the_items to list folder item_list without invisibles
set item_list to item_list as string
repeat with i from 1 to number of items in the the_items
set the_item to item i of the the_items
set the_item to (item_list & the_item) as alias
set this_info to info forthe_item
set file_name to name of this_info
set end of kFileList to file_name
if folder of this_info is true then
my createList(the_item)
end if
end repeat
end createList
