Code: Select all

    > Tip: This pops a list of all folders (recursively, without files) below 
      the current folder:
        text runret("cmd /c dir /s /b /o:n /ad");

Why outsource this to cmd and dir?

Code: Select all

InputSelect(<curpath>, folderreport('dirs', 'r',,'r'), <crlf>);

InputSelect over Text for the icons and filter.

Well, it just shows how DOS-o-philes can use XY as a comfy GUI. (I saw this in another forum.)

Fair enough!

Seemed like an odd tip out of context.

Running in the background must help. In some quick tests on large drives/folders, its seems like

Code: Select all

InputSelect(<curpath>,runret("cmd /c dir /s /b /o:n /ad"),<crlf>);

is quite a bit faster than ...

Code: Select all

InputSelect(<curpath>, folderreport('dirs', 'r',,'r'), <crlf>);
