[sleuthkit-users] Autopsy Survey: Directory Contents Count

[Brian C. <ca...@sl...>]

Currently, the tree on the left of Autopsy shows the number of items in the directory.  If there is a "." or ".." entry in the directory, they are included in the count.  In our last training course, someone suggested that we should not include those entries in the number so that a directory with no files or sub-folders shows up as "0" in the tree except "2".   I'm a bit torn on this one because they are in fact entries in the database and some could also get confused that there are more rows in the table than what was reported.

Thoughts? Do you want the number in the tree to include the "." and ".." or not?
