Waiting may work. Or maybe not. Those may be the markings of SIMS trying to run through all the files in an overpopulated folder and getting bogged down. At 3500 files in one directory, MacOS is going to be very slow. You might get faster action if you can move a large number of those files aside temporarily, and toss them back in as SIMS handles them. The downside: that is a tedious chore because the Finder also has very bad trouble with folders that full, and you have to cycle SIMS for every batch. On the other hand, that may not just be SIMS and the OS choking on a lot of files, it may be a corrupted directory. A scan with DFA, DiskWarrior, Norton or something along those lines may be in order. Even if patience and/or fiddling with files works, I'd suggest a DFA run: getting 3500 files into the queue directory is a serious stress on the filesystem that may have triggered damage. -- Bill Cole [EMAIL PROTECTED] ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
