AttocubeScan.getlist

AttocubeScan.getlist(**kargs)

Scan the current directory, optionally recursively to build a list of filenames.

Keyword Arguments:
  • recursive (bool) – Do a walk through all the directories for files

  • directory (string or False) – Either a string path to a new directory or False to open a dialog box or not set in which case existing directory is used.

  • flatten (bool) – After scanning the directory tree, flaten all the subgroupos to make a flat file list. (this is the previous behaviour of objectFolder.getlist())

Returns:

A copy of the current DataFoder directory with the files stored in the files attribute

getlist() scans a directory tree finding files that match the pattern. By default it will recurse through the entire directory tree finding sub directories and creating groups in the data folder for each sub directory.
