I'm a bit scared to figure out what this means for my users scanning their hard drives with Space Gremlin. I go through standard file apis to scan all the folders on the users system. Will it end up scanning the entire users online filesystem and not just the actual local files? Will getting file meta data on all those online files end up causing a fetch to DB and grind the whole scan to a halt?
I've been resisting building a custom HFS+ reader for years but apples expanded use of hard links plus whatever DB is about to unleash might require a new approach.
