File count capacity?

Just curious...
I Just backed up over 60,000 images and put them into one folder called CR2.
Is there a limit of the amount of files a folder can hold?
I know file sizes are limited to OS and hard drive space, but what about file count or folder count?

I'm not aware on any limit on folder file count. but it's hardly practical to put so many files in one folder. it's quite hard to scroll and it will take system resources just to render all items within when you open that folder.

  • File Adapter - how to get the file count from a folder

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement that have to poll a directory when the file count is reached to number N (ex:number of files avilable in folder is 5) otherwise it should wait and not pick any of the files. Is it possible to get the file count from a folder using file adapter ?? otherwise please suggest me an approach to achieve this requirement.
    Thanks,
    JJ

    Hi Sarath,
    Thank you for your reply.
    Go with the list files operation of file adapter it will gives you the number of files in the specified folder as you given. . - this step is already done.
    When the number of files reaches your count startup your webservice that which can polls the files. . . - how can i acheive this?? Have to poll the directory and process the number files - please let me know, what could be added to the webservice which is being invoked after cheking file count from parent process.
    The reason for the above question is - we cannot use ReadFile operation in second webservice because it will be automatically triggered when the file is avilable. Also SyncRead operation supports reading one file in b/w bpel process. Kindly explain me the implementation steps.
    Thanks,
    JJ

  • Returning the file count of a folder--too slow

    I am using the following to return the file count of a folder as part of a larger script
    with timeout of 5000 seconds
    tell application "Finder"
    set origFolder to "Somefolder" as alias
    set thePivotfiles to (every file of origFolder whose name ends with ".jpg")
    return the count of thePivotfiles
    end tell
    end timeout
    This script is rather slow to return the count of thePivotfiles--there are about 15,000 image files in the folder.
    Is there a faster way for the script to do this?
    Thanks.
    Pedro

    try using a shell script, something like :
    do shell script "cd ~/SomeFolder; ls -a | wc -l"

  • How to get the FILE COUNT from File directory

    Hello,
    i have to develop a scenario like, get  the file count from source file directory and validate whether the file count is 5 or not. if 5 files exist i need to process those 5 files to DB tables. if file count is not equal to 5 then i need to send a mail to customer that files are missed at source directory. (subject as files were missed at source directory and in content i need to display the file names exist at source file directory. So that missed file will be generated by the customer based on this mail).
    Could you please let me know how to get the count of files from source file directory. if it is possible only with UDF please provide the Java code
    Best Regards,
    SARAN

    Do these files have some fixed names?
    Can you try to use the option Advanced Selection For Source File to make XI  pick all 5 files in one shot?
    Check this blog on the same -

  • Reoccuring errors with volume file count, directory count, etc...

    I'll give a little back story...
    I purchased a new MacBook Pro 17" with OS X Lion (10.7.2) preinstalled back in January of this year (2012).  I migrated my user accounts from my old MacBook Pro 15" (2008) running OS X Snow Leopard.  Almost right away I started having issues of all sorts, including Admin accounts that wouldn't allow me admin priveledges, hidden user groups, apps that wouldn't run, multiple obscure error messages and a host of other issues.  After scouring forums like this one I used Disk Utility and not only discovered innumerable permission errors but also disk errors like these:
    Invalid volume file count
    (It should be 1656658 instead of 1656636)
    Invalid volume directory count
    (It should be 345764 instead of 345743)
    Invalid volume free block count
    (It should be 69344839 instead of 69355225)
    Volume header needs minor repair
    Disk Repair would correct the ACH/permission errors and above-noted disk corruption, but only temporarily.  After repairs I would reboot and be met with all of the same problems in the migrated accounts.  Over the following days I reinstalled OS X Lion at least three or four times, completely wiping the 750 GB hard drive before two of those reinstalls (even doing one-pass reformatting on one of those instances).  After reinstalling the OS, I would reinstall from TimeMachine and be met with all of the same problems again.
    I then brought my machine in to the Genius Bar where, after more than two-and-a-half hours they declared it to be an unknown issue that must be related to defective hardware and replaced my entire machine.  But wait - there's more!
    After getting home and moving my old accounts back over from TimeMachine all the same issues began reoccuring.  After at least two more OS reinstalls later I discovered that uninstalling Norton Internet Security seemed to fix some problems.  However, running Disk Utility still returned results like those listed above...
    Then there were the failed attempts at upgrading from 10.7.2 to 10.7.3 which  hung at the end the first two times and required complete OS reinstalls from the Recovery HD.  Several more headaches later I eventually I managed a sucessful upgrade.
    But still I find myself with a machine that stalls on boot-up at least once or twice a week, necessitating a power-off to interupt the process.  After each of these instances I run Disk Utility and get more of the same...
    Checking volume information.
    Invalid volume file count
    (It should be 1656658 instead of 1656636)
    Invalid volume directory count
    (It should be 345764 instead of 345743)
    Invalid volume free block count
    (It should be 69344839 instead of 69355225)
    Volume header needs minor repair
    The volume [...] was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.
    And now, this morning, after a month or two of all that... and after installing the Java Security Upgrade last night, I can't get into my accounts at all.  On first boot-up it hung for 20 minutes before I shut it down.  After running Disk Utility from Recovery Drive and repairing the drive I rebooted and got the log-in screen.  I clicked on my user icon, typed the correct password, was shown they white/grey screen for a few flickering seconds then was brought back to the log-in screen.  I rebooted to the Recovery Disk, ran Disk Utility, saw all the same errors again, repaired the disk, rebooted and got the same problems with logging in again.
    I've repeated this cycle five times today, as both a normal boot-up and in "Safe Mode" all with the same results.  I've repaired the disk using Disk Utility from Recovery Disk as well as accessing the disk in Target Mode, and always there are the same errors needing to be repaired.
    I don't buy that I'm dealing with a hardware issue.  My antivirus and security software are all up-to-date.  What the heck is going on?  Why do I keep having these disk problems?  Why can't I access my accounts anymore?  Why does it keep hanging during boot-up?  Why am I about to throw the machine out my bedroom window?

    You have a software issue carried over from the previous computer likely caused by Norton and perhaps some other issues related to recent malware.
    Your going to need to copy your users data folders only to a external drive and disconnect everything,
    command r boot into Recovery,
    DU erase (with Zero) your Lion partition,
    install Lion fresh from Apple,
    setup with the same name (important),
    Software update,
    install all your programs from fresh sources,
    and return files from the external drive manually into their respective folders
    in that precise order.
    and for good performance for a long time, try not to go over 50% of the drive filled, but certainly not more that 75%
    Do not use migration or TimeMachine restores.
    This is known as a Fresh Install, where everything is brand spanking new and only vetted files are returned.
    It's a pain I know, the problem with too much automation, the crap seeps in and ruins everything.
    I don't migrate nothing, I like my machines to work perfectly.

  • File Count using SPFile Object

    Hi,
    I am trying to get the file count using through SPFile within the selected dates of date time controls as below.
    But not able to get the count of the files in the folder as there is not count property in the SPFile object.
    Please share your ideas/thoughts on the same.
                                    foreach (SPFile file in oFolder.Files)

    Thanks & Regards, Sudheer

    Hi ,
    as you have int filecount, increase the count whenever it satisfies the if condition as mentioned
    above.
    int filecount=0;         
    foreach (SPFile file in oFolder.Files)
        if ((file.TimeCreated > dtFromDate.SelectedDate) &&( file.TimeCreated<dtToDate.SelectedDate))
                               filecount++;

  • Collect file count and add to CSV file.

    I have this script efficiently crafted by Jacques Rioux and I now what to do a little more with it.
    What it currently does is look on my desktop at a select number of Folders on my desktop. It then looks at the keyword information and then returns the results to a csv file.
    it looks for all the photographs; shot by Matthew. edited by Matthew etc.... with the date appended to the start and then the next time the script is run it adds the next data to the bottom of the last.
    The result looks like this
    19/12/2012,255,412,37,68
    27/12/2012,197,342,16,26
    From the fist line you can see on the 19th December 2012 I shot 255 images
    No what I would like it to do is:-
    a) Specifaically look in the folders of the desktop whose name begins with BH, BU, DA, DI, DO, FR, IN, NO, MA, TM, WA, PR, SE (These folders may or may not exist at the time, but are the only folders it should look at)
    b) also do a file count of the contents of the above individual folders and append it to the csv file. Again a folder may not exist. Where it doesn't exist the file count must = 0 so that it can then be added to the CSV file.
    This is how I hope the line to look like from the CSV file,
    19/12/2012,255,412,37,68, 5,3,20,25,60,101,25,0,85,5,40,0,0
    from the line above you can see that the folders NO, PR, and SE were all non existant and therefore a 0 was written in its place on the CSV file.
    Below is the working script that looks for the keywords.
    set spotlightqueryList to {"Shot by Matthew", "Editted by Matthew", "Shot by Shah", "Editted by Shah"}
    set thefolders to {"Desktop"}
    set thekind to "PSD"

  • File count in PDF package

    Is there an easy way to get a count of the files in a packaged PDF? I know that I can extract all files to a folder and then get a file count from the folder, but I am hoping that there is an easy way in Acrobat to get this.

    The File operations in java.io are relative to the current directory--that is, whatever directory was current when the VM was started. They have nothing to do with where a given class resides.
    Use Class.getResource or Class.getResourceAsStream.

    dear all,

    Hi Nazeer ,
    It wont take much time .. so simple :- )
    Create one os comand step
    ( for unix) Use
    wc -l filename.txt > someoutputfile.txt
    Now the number of lines in your file will be there in the output file ( someoutputfile.txt )
    Step2 :-
    Now use Cezar's logic to fetch the variable value ( file count ) from the output file .. ( select value for a variable from a file )
    This will not take eeven a second to finish the job.

  • Different file count between Photo Elements 12 and Lightroom 5.

    To Whom it might concern:
    When I check properties the file count in Photo Elements 12 is different than that of Lightroom 5.
    In one case Photo Elements shows 743 files and 51 folders and lightroom shows 734 files.
    I counted each a every file and found Lightroom to have the correct count and Elements the same count
    but properties shows a count of 743.

  • Frequent 'Filesystem Corrupt', Invalid File count

    I have been getting this message every a couple of days in my MBP or iMac running 10.6.2. It happens/visible only when I runs Disk Utility and Verify Disk. Of course, this brings unsettling point to me when it comes now and then. Not to mention I have to boot from DVD to run disk utility to fix this
    Error Message: Invalid file count (It should be xxxxx instead of xxx+1) AND
    Error Message: Invalid volume directory count (It should be xxxxx instead of xxxx-1)
    Any idea what causes this and what's the impact i.e. do I lose any files?
    Thanks!!

    By default, it is HFS+ Journaled (non-case sensitive). So I have also the same understanding that journalled filesystem should be robust as you wrote it. But the fact that this comes now and then, It created some doubts.
    Is this a harmless error message or should I be worried about it. That basically my questions. I do repair when I see this.
    It can't be because of disk is failing for a number of reason:
    1) I have the same behavior both in my iMac and MBP
    2) Both HDD has been replaced with new one recently
    3) Both HDD has passed through surface scan from TechTool Deluxe 5.0.6, so no bad blocks
    Still a puzzle...
    Are you sure that the errors are showing up on both computers when performing either a "Verify Disk" or "Repair Disk" and NOT just a "Verify Disk Permissions" or "Repair Disk Permissions"? Permissions errors are mostly harmless. Filesystem errors (the sort you see when you ask for "Verify Disk" or "Repair Disk" in Disk Utility are not harmless and you should be worried about those.
    If so, then either both drives are failing or your drives are being exposed to a strong enough magnetic field to damage their data (and that would have be pretty strong -- a common refrigerator magnet wouldn't do the trick.) In all of my years of working with journaled filesystems (or operating systems with "filesystem logging" which is the same thing) I have NEVER seen a journaled volume have filesystem errors unless it was physically failing.
    Journaling will prevent filesystem errors if it's enabled for pretty much every cause except for a physically defective or damaged disk. Here's the short version of how journaling works...
    Journaling (aka "filesystem logging") is intended to prevent filesystem corruption... and it's pretty rock-solid.
    1) A "journal" (or "log") area is added.
    2) A hard rule is established that, under no circumstances may the OS be performing writes to both the journal and the regular filesystem at the same time. One must be flushed before it can work on the other and vice versa.
    3) When a write operation is about to happen, the OS writes information to the journal indicating which blocks on the filesystem are about to be changed and what it's about to change. This information is flushed to disk.
    4) The OS can then perform the write on the actual filesystem areas it intended to change. These must then be flushed to disk.
    5) The journal can now be cleared.
    That's pretty much it (simplified). But think about what this does. Normally if something interrupts a write operation (something crashes, a kernel panic, a power loss, etc.) there is something that will still have integrity because the OS will not write to both the journal and the regular filesystem at the same time.
    If a failure occurs while writing to the filesystem it's no big deal. When the system boots back up, it notices the journal wasn't cleared so it "replays" the journal. This re-writes any blocks that might only have been partially written thus clearing any chance of corruption on the volume.
    If a failure occurs while writing to the journal it's still no big deal. When the system boots back up it notices a corrupt journal, but that means the regular filesystem itself wasn't being touched so the filesystem is guaranteed to not have errors on it (although it does mean the last file you were about to save probably didn't get saved -- and that file wouldn't have written successfully even if journaling were off. At least this way there is no filesystem corruption.)
    While it sounds pretty solid (and it is) there's still a potential for corruption, but it's rare. If a drive swings the access arms to a specific track and starts writing data, the assumption is that the write head is above the correct track. If the head is "sloppy" due to wear, then the head may be slightly mis-aligned and bleeding writes into the adjacent track. This will cause filesystem corruption even with journaling enabled.
    If these drives came with the computers then the only warranty would be via Apple. If you purchased these drives on your own then they probably came with a pretty good manufacturer warranty -- most drives I've purchased in recent years had at least a 3 year warranty.

  • Invalid volume file count and directory count

    My wife's macbook pro started shutting down by itself randomly, so i performed Disk Utility Verify Disk and found these errors:
    Invalid volume file count
    (It should be 800651 instead of 800653)
    Invalid volume directory count
    (It should be 191005 instead of 191003)
    The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
    Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed.
    As i do not have the Mac OS Leopard disks physically with me, I target-disk started her mac on my mac, and use my mac to run Disk Utility on her hard-disk, and repaired the disk without problems.
    However, this is the 3rd or 4th time this has happened. After the 1st time, i figured something is causing it, so i checked this forum, and found that for some, the Blackberry Messenger app causes programs, so i promptly uninstalled it fully (including associated system files) and this problem didnt come back for a while.
    Or could this be a sign the hard disk is physically failing soon? It is out of warranty now. We have regular TimeMachine backups. We are actually kinda waiting out until the new line of macbook pro's come out.. (hopefully in June at WWDC)
    Any suggestions as to how else to address this? Thanks!
    Laptop stats: MacBook Pro 15"

    Well, the disk errors are due to corruption caused by the random power downs, so focus on getting that issue solved first. What's the stats on the battery?

  • First Aid Services reports Errow "Invalid Volume File Count"

    In attempt to deleate a small Windows psrtition and creating a larger new Windows partition, Boot Camp directed to First Aid where the resulting error messages are "Invalid Volume File Count" and Invalid File Count",  Directions to reboot with program disks failed to work.  What next??

    What failed to work? Booting to your OS installer disk or running Repair Disk from Disk Utility when you were booted to the installer disk?
