Here are the details of the error I am getting :
The backtrace :
(gdb) bt 5

in the method folderNodesFromFolders: separator: in the Utilities.m file :
line 584
i = [aString indexOfCharacter: theSeparator];
aString : Drafts
theSeparator : /
i : 9223372036854775807
line 602
aName = [aString substringWithRange: NSMakeRange(mark, i-mark)];
aString : Drafts
mark : 0
i : 9223372036854775807
when I step over this last instruction an exception is raised or something, in
gdb the program just continues.
Obviously the substring with the range is the problem, but how does i get that
value from the indexOfCharacter method on line 584 ?
