![]() ![]() The Finder and DropDMG will also let you burn multiple discs at once.ĭisco lets you add a bunch of files to its window before burning them, but if you want to collect files from different places, I think Finder burn folders work pretty well, and the Finder window doesn’t constrict you. Disco’s Finder-format Spandex feature is a good idea, and I’ll probably add something similar to DropDMG, but it’s not as amazing as it sounds. It simply divides the files so that they’ll fit on multiple discs. This doesn’t make efficient use of your disk space, and if a file or subfolder is too large to fit on a single disc, it won’t work at all. With DropDMG and Toast you can span arbitrary items across multiple discs. DropDMG does this in two steps: first create a segmented. Toast does it in one step-you just feed in discs one after another-but the data is stored in its proprietary format. I have mixed feelings about Delicious Library. The sizzle doesn’t bother me because I do think it looks good, and it does this while being quite functional. What I don’t like is that the iSight scanning was over-sold. First, contrary to popular belief, this appeared in Booxter first. Option -F will show the filetype as a suffix, e.g: $ ls -FĭIR/ FILE no suffix is a regular file, / is a directory, and is a symlink.And second, it just doesn’t work very well with built-in iSights, taking much longer than entering the items manually, in my experience. Where - is a regular file, d is a directory, and l is a symlink. Lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 4 Dec 11 00:19 LINK -> FILE rw-rw-r- 1 user user 0 Dec 11 00:18 FILE ![]() Option -l will show the filetype as a single character at the start of a listing, e.g: $ ls -lĭrwxrwxr-x 2 user user 4096 Dec 11 00:18 DIR One form of filetype is whether a file is a regular file, directory, device, symlink, etc. So, the ls command cannot show the file type in the sense of whether it is a JPG image or a binary file or a text file or a LibreOffice document of some kind, because it does not have that information.įor that, as singrium's answer points out, you need the file command, which looks at the first 50-100kB or so of files' contents to determine their type. The ls command does not look inside regular files - only at directory listings (which store filenames) and inodes (which store metadata, including the "type" in the sense mentioned earlier). wjandrea's answer describes this in more detail.īut I don't think this is what you mean by file type. You can see that information slightly less cryptically displayed in the first letter of the output of ls -l, though. ‘|’ for FIFOs, ‘=’ for sockets, ‘>’ for doors, and nothing for ![]() Type indicators are ‘/’ for directories, for symbolic links, ![]() To combine its output with that of ls I suggest to use find: find -maxdepth 1 -type f -ls -exec file -b | cut -d, -f1" \ 'įor clarity, I'm going to point out that you can see the file type in a basic sense with ls, using the -F flag (classify) which appends a symbol to the filename depending on its type: ‘-F’Īppend a character to each file name indicating the file type.Īlso, for regular files that are executable, append ‘*’. File is definitely the right choice to get the file type information you want. ![]()
