What I am trying to do is build a list of files and folders that reside in a certain folder (the users Favorites folder). What I want to do is build the list so that folder names display with a different name (so the folder "My Files" displays as "My Files-fldr").

I have been able to march down the root folder and get all the files names, but I can't find a way to pick up the folders (my code just skips them...) So any help on determining folders would be great.

Also, is it possible for a carbon app to not display it's icon in the doc? If not (grrr...) how is it done in a cocoa application?

From the Foundation documentation for NSFileManager:

- BOOL fileExistsAtPath: (NSString *) path isDirectory: (BOOL *) isDirectory

So, what's the moral of our story? RTFM! Lol, just kidding bud.

A nice suggestion; there's a similar method in Java (java.io.File.isDirectory() comes to mind.) Except it appears the original poster is writing a Carbon app, not a Cocoa (or Java) application.

I think hs wants IdentifyFolder() (in Folders.h); it'll return an OSErr if dirID points to a file instead of a directory.

yes, an app will not display it's icon in the doc if you make it a faceless. this can be done in resedit.
