Hi all,
REALbasic 2006r2 Commercial Pro for Mac OS X 10.4.7
I have troubles with the so simple Visible property of the FolderItem Class.
I have a MemoryStick formatted using DOS (FAT32) USB 2 / 512 MB. I use
it to move files from Macintosh to Windows and Linux.
Unfortunately (from my point of view), there are many invisible file who
interfere with some of my programs. So, I made a simple thing to show
and delete them from Macintosh. I've put a ListBox in a window, a button
to choose the target folder / another button to delete the selected
items (manually) - and a column with the visible status -.
If FolderItem.Visible (from Macintosh) displays only ".DS_Store" with
the invisible status files and a check from the Windows running machine
displays three more invisible files (two screen shots and a REALbasic
project file)...
The questions are: Why ? and Is it the correct behaviour ?
Emile
PS: the same project running under Windows XP displays all three
invisible files (invisible under Mac OS X), the infamous .DS_Store
and... the "." folder.
I fooled around under Mac OS X with the Terminal and:
ls -l -a "path to folder"
"path to folder": MemoryStick path to the folder I used above
This displays all "invisible" files (+ "." and "..")...
