So, I was fiddling around with RB's "Plugin Converter" (found in their plugin
SDK).
I had this problem where it was adding these annoying .DS_Store files to my
plugin. And then this confused RB, which copied a .DS_Store file to the...
compiled RB app, instead of to my ElfData plugin!
So, I added this little line at the top of the PushIntoVirtualVolume function.
if item.name.left(1) = "." then return // ths -- ignore .DS_Store
I also added this line near the bottom, to make it look nicer:
print vvItem.ShellPath + "/" + item.Name // ths -- output helpful stuff
Now my function looks like this:
Private Sub PushIntoVirtualVolume(item as FolderItem, vvItem as FolderItem)
if item.name.left(1) = "." then return // ths -- ignore .DS_Store
if item.Directory then
// If the item is a folder, then we want to create a folder in the
// destination.
dim babyItem as FolderItem = vvItem.Child( ConvertEncoding( item.Name,
Encodings.UTF8 ) )
babyItem.CreateAsFolder
// Now loop over the children of the directory, and add them
// into the virtual volume as well
dim count as Integer = item.Count
for i as Integer = 1 to count
PushIntoVirtualVolume( item.TrueItem( i ), babyItem )
next i
else
// If the item is a file, then copy it over directly
print vvItem.ShellPath + "/" + item.Name // ths -- output helpful stuff
item.CopyFileTo( vvItem )
end if
End Sub
This might be useful for someone who is making plugins and getting tripped up
by those .DS_Store files. At the very least, maybe in a few months time someone
will have this problem and do a google search for it and find it :)
