On OS X these count actual mounted volumes.
On Windows this seems to count "drives".
I have a PC with 2 hard drives and a multi-port media reader, a DVD
drive and a CD.
Except for the 2 hard drives none of the other devices has a CD, DVD
or other media cards in them.
A loop like
dim i as integer
dim limit as integer
limit = VolumeCount - 1
for i = 0 to limit
listbox1.addrow volumes(i).absolutePath
next
lists only the actual volumes on OS X
On Windows I get and entry for every device regardless of whether it
has media in it or not.
Is that "correct" ?
Seems a rather huge distinction between the two platforms.
That's one issue.
However, on Windows IF I happen to hold a Folderitem for each volume
and a person ejects a volume, how do I test the folderItem to see if
it is valid any longer and NOT get the "There is no disk in the drive
Abort Retry Ignore" dialog ?
I've tried FoldereItem.exists but that seems to prompt for a disk
when the drive is empty which is what I really want to avoid.
Is there any way to tell if a Windows "Volume" has media in it ?
