Listing files from subdirectory

    I was just wondering if there was a way to make the plugin retrieve all files from the directory AND its sub-directories. I need to organize the files in sub-directories but want the plugin to display a set of the most recently added files across all sub-directories. Is there a way to make this work?

    Recursive lookup is definitely a great feature but it adds a lot of complexity and questions on how to display those subfolders and files and scripts / styles to navigate to and fro. I’m pretty sure that File Away https://en-ca.www.ads-software.com/plugins/file-away/ has recursive folders and display sorting.

    That all being said – if you just want a feed of the newest files from all subfolders dropped into the list and now necessarily the folders they’re in I could maybe add that in.

    Thank you for getting back to me. I actually ended up writing my own plugin for this based off of yours. I only needed a basic file list that searched folders recursively for the # most recent documents. So I ended up taking out a lot of the features in yours and adding in the recursive searching and a limiter attribute for the recursion so it wouldn’t go too deep if I didn’t want it to.

    Thanks again for getting back and also writing a great plugin. It definitely put me on the right track.
