I want to count the files in a volume. This will tell me how many pictures that i have then as certain actions happen it will automatically add them up for me. First step is finding the corect syntax for the items.

I ended up using this but I am sure its the same thing.

var myItems =app.document.thumbnail.children;
     for (var i=0; i<myItems.length; i++){}
         alert(i-2);

I am slowly plucking away at this calculator thing.

I am subtracting two because I have two pdf files I don't want to count.

Yep just tried it. It works.
