there is a folder returns false on Mac if it's a file. Unless the file is a bundle (app). A Mac app is in fact a folder that has been flagged as an application.
Looking at your code, are you trying to extract the paths to all the files, or determine which are folders inside a given path? If you are just trying to determine if a path is just a folder, then there is a folder will return false if it is a path to a file.
