Number of files in folder changed-.

I keep track of number of files for some folders. And today, for some unknown reason, the number of files changed….
There are supposed to be 52,483 files in this folder, but "get info" shows that there are 50,250 files… I entered Time Machine, and those numbers changed too… I even checked back-ups from February of 2014, and that folder also was missing 2233 files according to "get info"… I randomly checked 10 back-ups, and in each back-up this folder was missing exactly 2233 files. I always back-up my Mac when these numbers match.
Thankfully, I don't seem to see any missing files at all. However, this still bugs me… What kind of sorcery is this?!?! My inner OCD is killing me! How can there be a difference of 2233 files in the folder suddenly? Furthermore, what baffles me the most is the fact that even Time Machine changed those numbers…
Can someone please tell me what could have cause this?
Few things to note:
* I always check the number of files before Time Machine back-up and shutting down. Then I type these numbers on a text file.
* A couple of days ago, I changed my start-up disk to core volume using this instruction (As many might already know, Yosemite partition becomes core volume…) - http://awesometoast.com/yosemite-cor...artition-woes/
* That same day, I was asked password whenever I moved files to Trash. So I went to Home Folder, and clicked "apply to enclosed items."
* Sudden notification told me that my computer is running on UPS battery back-up. However, there was no power interruption that that time
* My iMac is on 10.8.5

In my "Profile" folder are the following--
- Disk folder RecycleBin.ffs_tmp is 1.34Gb and contains 578 files even though I have made multiple attempts to "Compress folders" and typically delete e-mail permanently.
- Disk folder Inbox.mozmsgs is 82.5 Mb and contains almost 11K files like:
0.0.0.1DC.1CBC221817A786C.0%40mail6.idgpublishing.com.wdseml
- Disk folder Trash.mozmsgs is 882Kb and contains 142 files even though my Trash folder has less than 40 files. Example file names:
0.0.9.BF4.1CFAA6AF4294548.0%40omp.e.tigerdirect.com.wdseml
3W98B75I.4527022%40roperusa.com.wdseml
For each of my e-mail folders, there now appears to be a disk folder with the same name as the e-mail folder and a "file extension" of ".mozmsgs". And at least some of these appear in both the "Profile" folder, "...\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\5yx36fcc.default", and in a folder within that one, "..\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\5yx36fcc.default\Mail\Local Folders".

To find total number of files inside folder

Hai,
   In knowledge management is there any option to find total number of files inside folder...

Hi Kiruthika,
1. You only need the configarchive if you don't want create all the KM configuration objects mentioned in the guide manually. So, just create the objects mentioned there and you don't need the configarchive
Also, the scenario works also on 2004s.
2. Please check this thread on how to show the total number of files inside a folder:

[JS CS3] About Number of files in folder.

Hello,
Is there any way to get number of files in a folder using javascript?.
I am going to locate the folder and then i want to create a script that will give number of files in that folder.
Thank you,

> Is there any way to get number of files in a folder using javascript?.
There are a couple of different ways. Here's the most concise I can think of:
folder.getFiles(function(f) { return f instanceof File; }).length
But you really do need to read the docs if you are going to be working with File
and Folder objects.

Maximum number displayed files in Folder in Dock?

One of our users has over 800 files saved directly in her Documents folder. We keep this folder in the usual location, and also have it displayed in the Dock as a "list". When she clicks on the folder, about the first half of the files show up - if displayed alphabetically for example, she gets A - M.
Does anyone know if this is fixable? I'm assuming here that there is some maximum number of displayed files which maybe I can fix by editing a .plist or something. It drives her nuts to have to do the "open in Finder" thing half the time, but not the other half of the time (obviously, when she opens this folder as a Finder window everything is there, it is only the display in the Dock which refuses to show all items).
Thanks!

Thanks for the info. There is indeed a maximum number of files that the dock will show in the contextual menu. Yeah, it would be best if the user wouldn't keep everything organized like that, but it isn't possible to lean over someone's shoulder all the time...

Number of files in folder

Hi
Is it possible by use of standard functionality to add number of files in a folder?
I was thinking of a solution like this: [icon] [foldername] (number of files) --> "My work (23)
Another question to the folder part I have 4 separate folder that contains folders inside; I need to create an alphabetic list of all the content from the four folders. Is this possible by use of standard portal functionality?
Kind regards
John Stubbe

Hello John,
Yes, this is possible. The standard provides the property rnd:childcount (see Property Metadata Service -> Properties). In order to make it visible in a navigation iview add this property to the parameter Displayed Properties where you would like to see it. A new column will be shown if you use "...,rnd:childcount,...". if you use "...+rnd:childcount,..." the value is added directly to the previous displayed property.
Moreover you need to specify design of the child count property in the Resource Renderer. The parameter Mode For Child Count allows you to choose what exactly is counted, e.g. only folders, only files, etc.
Kind regards,
Roland

Max number of files in folder

I'm setting up a web server running under OS 8.6. What's the limit as to number of files in a folder? Some of my image folders will have upwards of a thousand files. Do I need to break them up?
Thanks for any insights.

Hi, Thomas -
This Apple KBase article states the limits for the HFS+ drive format; if your hard drive is not formatted as HFS+ (= Mac OS Extended), it should be.
Article #24601 - HFS+ Format: Volume and File Limits
Although the format allows for over 30,000 items (files and folders) in a folder, having such a large number 'loose' (not segregated into smaller bunches in their own folders) will slow down the display of Finder windows and Navigation Services windows.

Add Folder - is there a limit to the number of files you can add in one go?

I have a fairly large collection (60GB+) of 192kbps mp3 files which are stored under My Music in a folder structure of Artists / Album, e.g. "My Music \ ACDC \ Back in Black\ Hells Bells.mp3"
I recently bought an ipod and having installed itunes I wanted to add all my music. I figured out that the way to do this is to go File / Add Folder and select the "My Music" folder.
However, itunes starts adding the mp3s and stops at the Bruce Springsteen folder. At this point the itunes library can see all the "A" folders and the "Bs" up to and including Bruce Springsteen. If I try the process again nothing happens.
However, if I then try to add a specific folder e.g. "My Music \ Charlatans" it works.
This suggests to me that the Add Folder option has a limit to the number of files it can process.
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated as I'm not looking forward to manually adding a hundred or so folders.

Well the part about putting songs in the "iTUnes Music" folder I only brought up because it seemed you liked things very organized. You could use iTunes to so all the organizeing. Plus once you add something to the iTUnes library, if you change ANYTHING about it in windows explorer, like its name, change the name of the folder its in or move it to another folder, iTUnes "Looses Track" of it. Its not like other programs that "Watch" files and folders for changes outside its "iTUnes Music" folder
But to have iTUnes auto search, you have to delete a hidden pref file. After doing this, when you open iTUnes again it will throw up a setup wizard, just like its the first time ever installing it. Its in this wizard where you get your ONLY chance to have iTUnes auto search and add files from the system. Just goto the link below and follow Scott P's steps

Number of files in Thunderbird e-mail "profile" folder

Several versions of Thuderbird in the past, e-mail was stored in roughly one file per e-mail "folder". A few versions ago this changed and the number of files in my "profile" folder exploded from around one hundred to almost 120 thousand!
What happened and why? How can I reduce the number of files?
This is important to me because I synchronize my e-mail "profile" folder between multiple computers for backup and the number of files has made this become very painful (time consuming and hard to manage). I am unable to do this some other way due to my e-mail account servers and the fact that some of the computers are not turned on all of the time.
Thunderbird is 31.4.0 running on Windows XP Pro 32-bit.

In my "Profile" folder are the following--
- Disk folder RecycleBin.ffs_tmp is 1.34Gb and contains 578 files even though I have made multiple attempts to "Compress folders" and typically delete e-mail permanently.
- Disk folder Inbox.mozmsgs is 82.5 Mb and contains almost 11K files like:
0.0.0.1DC.1CBC221817A786C.0%40mail6.idgpublishing.com.wdseml
- Disk folder Trash.mozmsgs is 882Kb and contains 142 files even though my Trash folder has less than 40 files. Example file names:
0.0.9.BF4.1CFAA6AF4294548.0%40omp.e.tigerdirect.com.wdseml
3W98B75I.4527022%40roperusa.com.wdseml
For each of my e-mail folders, there now appears to be a disk folder with the same name as the e-mail folder and a "file extension" of ".mozmsgs". And at least some of these appear in both the "Profile" folder, "...\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\5yx36fcc.default", and in a folder within that one, "..\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\5yx36fcc.default\Mail\Local Folders".

Where to find the number of files in a folder (in Finder)?

I just upgraded from Snow Leopard.
In the past I could look at the bottom of the finder window and see how many files where in a particular folder. And how much megawattage they respresented in total.
Is there some kind of preference I can set in Mountain Lion to be able to see the 'number' of files in a given folder?
All ears,
Ben

Thank you Kurt,
You're an ace.
Much appreciated.

Choose a set number of files in a folder?

Is there a way using AppleScript to choose a set number of files inside a folder?
I've created an Automator workflow to convert some files (Illustrator to PDF) but the folders contain a large number of files (nearly 500). If I ran the workflow on this amount of files I'm pretty sure it would crash, as the workflow opens the files & then saves them in the other format (so it would open all 500 files).
So what the workflow does at the moment is ask me to choose the files to convert, I select around 50 & let it convert them & closes the files. It loops, so once it's completed them I it asks again to choose more files to convert etc...
If I could make it choose a set number of files (via some AppleScript & add this to the workflow) it could open & convert (for example) 50 files, then open & convert the next files. And keep doing this until it completes converting all of them.

red_menace wrote:
What happens to the original item after the conversion? Is it moved, or will some method need to be used to keep track of what has already been converted?/Trim Input Items.action.zip
After the files have been converted they are moved to another folder so that I don't choose them again & again, & so that I know they've been converted.
So if I used the Trim Input Items action it would choose only 9 items, convert them & then (with the workflow looping) convert another 9 files, & so on & so on. Is that correct? If so that could work for me.
The Dispense Items Incrementally action could also work for me. If I understand correctly it would convert 1 file at a time & I'd set to loop so it goes through all the items 1 at a time.
Camelot wrote:
I don't see the need to select a set number of files in the folder.
From your description it sounds like you want to process them all anyway, it's just that your existing (manual-select) workflow works by selecting a few at a time.
What's wrong with the script identifying all files and processing them all in one loop?
Because my workflow (at the moment) opens all the files at once, & then converts them. So it would open nearly 500 Illustrator files in one go rather then opening a few of them, or opening them 1 at a time. I'm pretty sure it would choke my system opening up 500 files (not particularly small files either).

Programatically count the number of files in a folder

Hi Folks
I need to programatically count the number of files in a given folder and return the value to a Program Unit to be included in further processing.
Can anyone point me in the right direction. I have looked at UTL_FILE but this does not offer what I want.
Does anyone know of an obscure package in Oracle that I could use?
I'm using 9i in a W2K environment.
Many thanks

Maximum number of files in a folder ?

Hello, what is the maximum number of files in a folder OS X can handle ?
I used a file recovery software called FileSalvage to save some files of an external 300GB with a corrupted disk directory (unable to repair with the usual repair/recovery programs).
FileSalvage recovered about 435,000 files and sorted them by extension in individual folders, unfortunately it does not recognize the file names and just sequentially names the files per extension.
The .jpeg, .gif and .html folders had up to 75,000 files. After recovery the external FW drives started to behave very strange, unresponsive, just hanging, time-out. I tried on a Mac Mini, iMac G5, an iBook and PowerBook, OS X 10.3.9 and 10.4.3, FW400/800 and USB 2.0 interface, they all had pretty much the same failure mode after a while.
Running Disk Utility on the drives with the recovered FileSalvage folders showed a corrupted directory (invalid file count) and unable to repair, although I could copy most of the folders of the disk (deleted the folders with more than 10,000 files per folder).
I suspect that File Salvage copies more files in a folder than OS X allows, causing unpredicable problems.
Any ideas ?

From "Mac OS X: Mac OS Extended Format volume and file limits"
"Maximum number of files (or files and folders) in a folder … up to 2.1 billion"
According to a note in the document, the above is subject to the drive's size (maximum 16 terabytes in "Tiger") and block size, ie. the number of available blocks.
So it would appear that the number of files you mentioned would be well within theoretical limits, although I suppose there could be a bug in some other part of OS X. Otherwise, maybe there is a problem with the drive...

Is there a limit to the number of files one can store in a folder?

Does anyone know if there is a limit to the number of files that can be stored in a folder? Or, is there a best-practice recommendation about this?

I wonder how one would find a group of files within that folder of 2.1 billion < very slowly <

I'm a little confused by the question, but it sounds like you're asking how to count the number of files with a particular extension in a given directory? That's not really an AI SDK question, but it's a fairly easy one to find if you google it. If you're trying to use Illustrator to do it, AI doesn't have a general purpose file API. It has a few functions to do some things that Illustrator needs, but I don't think enumerating directories is one of them.
