List Object Bug - "Load Files List"

[MelliGeorgiou]

When trying to use the "Load Files List" action in the List object, it does nothing.

I have directly copied and pasted a directory's address from the Desktop into the expression editor, and still nothing.

I'm certain something is wrong here. Can anyone else verify?

Put a * after the directory name to get the file list.

E.g.

C:\My Documents\Files\*

Thanks a lot Flava.. That really should be automatic.. Or at the very least be in the List Object documentation..

Thanks again!

Yeh it annoyed me at first too. I think the reason it happens is because * is used as a wild card.

So if you put *.txt - then only .txt files will appear in the list object. So putting just * lists every single file.

Hmm.. Sounds quite cool.. Can you have more than 1 type of file, ie, *.bmp, .jpg, etc. ?

If so, how do you write that in the expression editor? lol

Cheers

Not really sure if you can do two types (haven't tried).
Although you could just use two list objects and then use a loop to put them both into another single list object.
