But wasn't the original problem that AllFilesMask was wrong on Windows?
No.
Supplying either '*.*' or '*' to FindFirst() function on Windows will
correctly list all files.
And I've now checked why this is the case:
If you look at the implementation of FindFirstFileExW (which is in the
end called by all other FindFirstFile* functions) in ReactOS (
http://svn.reactos.org/svn/reactos/trunk/reactos/dll/win32/kernel32/client/file/find.c?revision=58833&view=markup
) you'll see at line 822 the following code:
=== code begin ===
/* Change pattern: "*.*" --> "*" */
if (FilePattern.Length == 6 &&
RtlCompareMemory(FilePattern.Buffer, L"*.*", 6) == 6)
{
FilePattern.Length = 2;
}
=== code end ===
So this means it does not matter whether you pass '*.*' or '*' to
FindFirstFile*, because the Win32 subsystem will adjust the mask anyway
(FPC's FindFirst internally uses FindFirstFileA on Windows).

Sven
