FolderItem.CountMBS as Integer   Deprecated

method Files MBS MacClassic Plugin 3.2 ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ❌ No ✅ Yes All
This item is deprecated and should no longer be used. You can use folderitem.Count instead.
Returns the number of items in this folder.
Example
dim f as FolderItem = SpecialFolder.Desktop
MsgBox str(F.Count)+" vs. "+str(F.CountMBS)

The count property of the Xojo folderitem class is cached.
So if you create a file, the count property may not update.

If you need a more up to date value, you can use the CountMBS function to return the value the Mac OS system software returns.
On any error (e.g. invalid folderitem) the function returns 0.

Windows support added in 4.2dr2.
