Ok, I found out the cause of the behavior with leading dots....
BRAVO!!!!! Excellent sleuthing!!!
I think it should be possible to get all matching filenames with a
single call of SysFileTree, and for recursion into hidden dirs to be
supported.
Thank you for your +1.
If you think that changing the current behaviour will cause grief
to people used to the current behaviour, then I suppose you have
no option but to make both aspects of this possible only when a
user explicitly sets flags allowing one or both options.
I am very much concerned of impacting legacy code. I have had to put the extra SysFileTree calls in when code I write detects it is running on Linux. To suddenly start getting all the objects back
with a single call would mean my ooRexx workaround would end up getting more objects than actually exist... some would be picked up multiple times.
Rick, perhaps hide it in your 'Z' option idea? And have 'Z' option supported
cross platform... just only actually does something on Linux?
I am thankful,
