#FMDIFF 4 FOR MACINTOSH FULL#
Name is the full file path with the file name at the right of that path. I wound up with a 179 mb file after I had done some Finds and Replace commands on it. I just dragged and dropped the exported text file onto FileMaker Pro 9 Advanced and it gave me the option to use the first row as field names – choose yes. It creates a tab-delimited (I think) file with 5 fields: Name, Size, Type, Creator, Date Modified. Then you have a nice and handy export to text button. You select a hard drive and it scans that sucker into its own catalog in 3 minutes or so for maybe 300 gigs of files. You select Scan and it gives you an open dialog. MacDiskCatalog is a nice little Cocoa app. You get 60 days to try this out with full functionality so that’s where I am with it for now. Voilà, I found one called DiskCatalogMaker and it works great. Today is a new day, and I wanted a utility to give me the contents of a drive as a text file. That lead to me typing in about 50 folders and a couple drives. I can’t imagine someone hasn’t added this to an automator script but I couldn’t find one on short notice. I looked in Automator to see if it would take a folder and give me a list of its contents as text. So, I figured, I’ll create a FileMaker database: a table called hard drives and a table called folders. To do this, I need to eliminate 1 terabyte worth of redundancy in a hurry. That means I need to move a terabyte somewhere else temporarily. I was getting into the project last night because I have a misbehaving 1 terabyte drive I need to exchange. I don’t seem to ever get around to reconciling them so that I can stop buying hard drives for a while. I don’t know about you, but as a FileMaker developer, I have about 12 usable hard drives in my house.
