GFL_TYPE not always default =0

[Grovkillen]

I have discovered that it's not a good approach to assume that GFL_TYPE=0 as stated in the online manual. After deploying a "file finder and opener" script to my collogues I got feedback from 3-4 (of a total of 17) that the app didn't find any files. I did some head scratching and found out that if I hardcoded GFL_TYPE=0 those users didn't have this problem anymore.

I would suggest that the online manual got updated with this information.

Strange. We've never had any reports of this nature before.

While it doesn't specifically state the default is 0, I'd say it would certainly be implied (this could my ASD though) :

By default GetFileList returns files. To return directories only set GFL_TYPE to 1 (Let>GFL_TYPE=1).

It does mention sort type default being 0 though.

Yeah you're right, but this problem was resolved by setting it to zero. Just thought I'd add this information to the community.

The behavior only affected network paths and not local paths. As a hint where to digg deeper.

Ah, that's good to know. Thank you.

Maybe, just maybe, the problem was caused by a delay in listing the network path because I added a little delay and that fixed the problem too....
