Re: [sleuthkit-users] Autopsy Survey: Directory Contents Count

[Derrick K. <dk...@gm...>]

I'm voting for including '.' and '..' in the count.  They are valid
entries and it can be left to the operator to explain them as Hoyt

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.
