it was a huge step to do away with the defaultfolder requirement to
get a file list
put files(somePath) is wonderful
but, "ummmm" …we are still forced to change the defaultFolder to get
the detailed|long files
Is it too much to ask for these file info functions to also work "out
of the box" with just a path param to the folder?
already reported about a year ago:
<http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=18010>
But unfortunately hibernated!?
I added a second optional parameter to files/folders this morning:
get files(pFolder) -- the files
get files(pFolder, "detailed") -- the detailed files
Its the minimal implementation - but fills the main gap that we
currently suffer. The second optional parameter 'pKind' could be used in
future to offer (maybe) an array form of return value, where you get an
array mapping filename to an array of file attributes.
