A different take on directorywalking

[Malte Brill]

Hi Mike,

thanks for the reply!

For the Mac I seem to be able to use:

put "find -d tree“ && tPath &&  "-type f“ into tShellCommand

For Windows of course I forgot to replace the backslashes with slashes.

Not sure if find is available and has the same switches on Linux though…

All the best,

Malte
