Hello

I'd like to request an update on the Directory node..
if possible,in addition to file count, could we get folder count and/or folder names Array?

Thanks

or if it is possible to search for Folders through the search pattern property, that would be a nice workaround.

you can do it by your own with scripting check C# Directory.GetDirectories.
There are many example codes on the internet ;)

Thanks though :)

It is even possible with a String Expression...
I think it might already be in the forum...

Pros for String Expression:
no compiling on startup needed

Cons for string expression:
No async functionality

Remember to always write the full class names in Expressions (System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories...)

Because i am also not the best scripter on earth i tried a little workaround ;)

You "just" need to copy a file with the same name into every sub directory in the tree... in my case i used dummie.txt. at the end you will get all sub directories as an array.

No scripting, no async problem... as long as the dir node has no async bug ;)
