Nice, But ...
Authored by: Anonymous on Dec 04, '02 12:17:13PM

Agreed, this is a nice feature. However, the fact that it always goes recursively into Mac OS X packages is a minus, IMHO. It'd be nice if you dropped an app on it if it generated a recursive listing of the package contents, but otherwise did not ... as a result, even simply dropping your Applications folder on there will generate a huge list as BBEdit Lite delves into every package.

A nice alternative ... you can select all applications in your Applications folder and select 'copy,' then go into a BBEdit document and hit 'paste.' You'll get simply the application names.

iPhoto directories
Authored by: freebrian on Dec 04, '02 12:28:08PM

I just tried this with my iPhoto directory. I have about 350 pictures and iPhoto uses 2100 folders and files. How amazingly inefficient! No wonder it's so slow, look at all the filemgt it has to constantly be maintaining.
