habitude Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Is it possible to search a hard drive for files (ex: *.mp3, music files), and create a record containing the file name, database path, etc, for each file found? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
normanicus Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I did this long ago on a Mac - so long ago that I can't remember how I did it. I think I used Applescript to gather all the folder and file names, then imported the text file and created a record for each item. I also got the icons for each application and put that in a container field. Clicking this would open the file with the right app. Should all be much easier now. Sorry I no longer have the files as it was a couple of computers ago I did this and it never got used for the customer. Hope the knowledge that it is possible spurs you on, Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
