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>);
