Can I get a count of all files in a folder, including in subfolders?

I know the various ways to get a count of items in a folder. This gives me the number of files and subfolders. Is there a way to include the number of files in the subfolders in the total folder count?

I also found that, here: http://superuser.com/questions/198817/recursively-count-all-the-files-in-a-direc tory
That will give you the count of just files, excluding the folders.
If you want to count the non-hidden files, you can do this:
find path/ -type f ! -name ".*" -flags nohidden | wc -l

I need applescript to change all files in a folder and its subfolders ending in .xlsx changed to .xlsb

I need applescript to change all files in a folder and its subfolders ending in .xlsx changed to .xlsb

try something like this:
with timeout of 3600 seconds
-- long timeout to because the Finder is horribly slow
          tell application "Finder"
-- collects the files from a folder called "whatever" in your user home folder
                    set xlsbFiles to every file of entire contents of folder "Whatever" of home whose name extension is "xlsb"
                    repeat with thisFile in xlsbFiles
                              set name extension of thisFile to "xlsx"
                    end repeat
          end tell
end timeout
you could make a more efficient script using System Events.app, but this will get the job done with a minimum of thought.

How can I get a count of ALL nodes in a JTree?

Not sure if I am missing something here or what. Is there an easy way to determine the total number of nodes in a JTree? I thought there would be a method to return this, but I'm not seeing it in JTree or DefaultTreeModel. Do I have to start at the root and recursively get child counts? Yuck!
Jamie

You are absolutely right! Create a recursive method and count all your children from the root.

Can't get Itunes to play all the music in folder.

I have Vista and just put iTunes on it to use instead of Media Player. My problem is if I select more then 10 files to play or just hit the "Play All" button in the folder the files open in Media Player and not iTunes. These are .mp3 files which I have associated to iTunes. If I open a single file it opens in iTunes and I am not given a warning that iTunes is the default player. Can anyone help me figure out how to make iTunes play all the music I select without having to open it and import it each time. I have over 300 CDs on the computer and some times I just want to go to the folder in explorer and launch all the music from that CD.

I think you just need to figure out the tricks to getting the album you want up in iTunes. It is very easy actually.
First, if you turn on View Browser (you can't be in the cover flow view to see the browser) you get three windows at the top of your library: Genre, Artist, Album. When you pick anything from any of those windows, it immediately narrows down the library view to things that meet that choice (e.g. if you pick U2 then the library will only show tracks with Artist = U2.
In addition, those three boxes will narrow down to only show what fits with whatever you type in the search field. Meaning, normally if you have thousands of songs and hundreds of artists, scrolling through the little artist box to find that one artist or the album box to find that one album is kind of tedious. But say you want to listen to The Clash's "London Calling". In the search box you can just type in Clash or London (or both) and the three Browser boxes (and your library view) will quickly narrow down to only tracks where Clash and London appear. Likely the Album window will now only show a few choices. Click the "London Calling" one and your library now only shows that album. Now you can play just that album. Of course it sounds like more when you type it all out, but to open iTunes, type "Clash London" then click on the London Calling album takes all of about three seconds, likely quicker than it is to dig through folders in your hard drive.
Sorry, but I don't have any answers for your Windows association problem with trying to load more than 10 tracks, but I think you may find the above method to be much easier to navigate.

Show Thumbnail of all files in a folder and its subfolders

Hi Guys,
I want to set the Filter Panel (Adobe Bridge CS3) to "show all items in this folder and all its subfolders" through Java script on windows.
From UI it is possible by clicking on icon buton present in the filter panel and content panel shows the files from current folder as well as from its subfolders.
Can any one suggest some Java script to do it?

Any solution?
Good Luck.

Finder got an error: Can't get item 1 of {document file "foo" ...}

I have a lot of files in Corel Painter 8's RIFF format. I want to write a script that opens a file and somehow forces Corel Painter 8 to save the file as a GIF. GUI scripting may be some help with the latter; now I am concentrating on finding RIFF files and opening them in Corel Painter 8.
I have a script that does a depth-first search of the folders starting at some root folder, using the Finder application to do the file-system stuff. It creates a list with
set docs to every document file of pages_folder whose file type = "RIFF"
as it loops through folders it adds to the list like this:
set more_documents to every document file of a_folder whose file type = "RIFF"
set docs to docs & more_documents
My naîve mental model is that docs is a list of document-file objects. Next I have a loop that attempts to strip out files for which a GIF file already exists (and is no older than the RIFF document). This works by deleting non-matching items like so:
if not isgifneeded then
set docs to items 1 thru (i - 1) of docs & items (i + 1) thru (length of docs) of docs
end if
Finally it tries to open one of the files in Corel Painter 8 using the Finder:
open item 1 of docs using "Corel Painter 8"
This does not work. I get an error message
Finder got an error: Can't get item 1 of {document file "bar" of folder "foo" of folder "blah" of folder "pdc" of folder "Users" of startup disk, ... }."
It lists all of the files. (The error message appears in a sheet that extends off the bottom of the screen!) They are identified in the message as document-file objects. The curly braces are, I believe, the AppleScript notation for a list. I expect to be able to obtain the first element of a list with ‘item 1 of xs’. My assumption is that the Finder’s open command would expect a document file object, or at least would be able to cope with being asked to open a document. What am I missing here?
PowerBook 12" without mini-DVI Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hi Damian and welcome to Apple Discussions!
One suggestion: try
tell application "Finder" to open item 1 of docs
(without 'using "Corel Painter 8"')
As far as the Finder is concerned, "Corel Painter 8" is just a string of characters. And telling the Finder to open a file is just the same as double-clicking it: the Finder knows which app to use - as long as these are native Corel Painter 8 docs.
Hope this helps,
H

Hi,
There is no such PowerShell command can achiev this. Maybe you can use a script to get the user name with folder redirection enabled. However, I am not familiar with writing script, and it would be better for you to ask in script forum below for professional

" When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
Correct.
" How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer? "
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

Can we get the name of fmx file at runtime

Hi all,
can we get the name of fmx file which is doing some DML operation on a specific table Can we back track which fmx module has done DML on a specific table. The reason I need this because I've 7 different fmx files which are doing some DML operation on a specific table and these fmx files were used by different users. Not necessarily 1:1 For eg. one user can do DML through 3 different fmx files. So in such case if I want to want to know from which fmx file this DML has take place .How can I achieve that. I know I can get the oracle username through v$session but it will not suffice my needs. I need the name of fmx file also.
I'm using:
Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.0.2 (Production)
Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
CORE 10.2.0.1.0 Production
TNS for 32-bit Windows: Version 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
Any help?
Warm Regards
Percy

Percy,
For that you can set the Module Field in the V$session in each form by,
DBMS_APPLICATION_INFO.SET_MODULE(MODULE_NAME => :SYSTEM.CURRENT_FORM, ACTION_NAME => USER);Write this in each form, and then you will get the form name in the V$SESSION's module field with form name.
Hope this helps.

My iphone has calendar history for 10 years. my icloud only shows about 6-8 weeks back. how can i get icloud to show all the calendar events in the past that are on iphone?

my iphone has calendar history for 10 years. my icloud only shows about 6-8 weeks back. how can i get icloud to show all the calendar events in the past that are on iphone?

I encountered a similar problem when finally (and with much regret) I was obliged to migrate my MobileMe to iCloud last month.
Many years of iCal history vanished without trace during this automated transition by Apple and iCloud then kindly synched the resulting vacuum back to iCal on my Mac.
Fortunately, iCloud wasn’t able to decimate iCal on my other Macs because (1) they are still running Snow and (2) I had switched them off as a precaution. Good job I did.
My solution was to export my iCal data on one of those other Macs to a backup file – then I imported that backup file into my Lion-updated Mac’s iCal. That restored all the iCloud-deleted iCal data back on to my Mac and this was promptly synched automatically to my Calendar on iCloud. So now it’s all there and showing.
Perhaps you could do something similar? In the meantime, be very careful not to let iCloud’s amnesia get synched to your iPhone (and other devices).
Experience has taught me never to trust an “upgrade” until it is proven to be working correctly and always to keep in reserve another Mac with a properly-functioning system and all synching to it switched off...
