Directory Walker question

In a number of earlier digests, there was discussion about the
"directory walker". I've copied that code into my script and, sure
enough, it works exactly as advertised. However, in OSX, it also walks
down through app bundles. I'd like to stop before diving into the
bundle. However, I need to get the total size of the bundle (both data
and resource) for later purposes. I've played with the "detailed files"
function and it looks like I may have to use it to add up everything
inside the bundle. I don't mind doing that (as Rev is really quite
fast).
Near as I can tell, I'd have to use the "detailed files" function after
using the directory walker in order to add up the bytes of both forks
of all the files, and then run a modified version of the directory
walker routine which would permit me to recognize app bundles and end
up with a list that's similar to what the user sees in the Finder.
(Alternatively, once I have the detailed files of the entire tree,
could I parse through it and eliminate what I don't need?)
Here's what the directory walker sees (I've removed the enclosing
folders to make it readable in this eMail):
Adobe ImageReady 7.0/Adobe ImageReady 7.0,0,949
Adobe ImageReady 7.0/Contents/Info.plist,14148,0
Adobe ImageReady 7.0/Contents/MacOS/ACECarbonLib,526041,518
Adobe ImageReady 7.0/Contents/MacOS/ADM-PNG,46781,2989
Adobe ImageReady 7.0/Contents/MacOS/ADMCarbon Plugin,882650,71737
(and lots more lines listing the stuff inside the ImageReady app)
So the big question is: How do I get the directory walker to recognize
that it's encountered an OSX app bundle (ImageReady 7.0, in this case)
and have it -not- examine what's inside. In the above example, it's
already dropped inside the ImageReady bundle. Using the above example,
what I'd like to end up with is simply "Adobe ImageReady 7.0" as the
only line.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Barry
