Propose a directory scanner....scans a directory and returns a list of files of a particular type, say audio, movies, images ... I have generally used this to create randomness in compositions, saves hard coding content, or simply stepping tough a number of digital assets. Similar to the "Directory Scanner" patch in qc. "This patch scans a directory at a given path, possibly recursively, and build a list of the image, movie or composition files it contains. The directory path is considered absolute if starting with '/', relative to the current user directory if starting with '~', or otherwise relative to the location of the Quartz composition file if available."

Paul,
Paul,
This is our plan. We're going to try to get it included in 0.9.
- VuoUrl path — default "" — Path to search
- VuoBoolean includeSubfolders , default false, When true, recursively searches subfolders
- VuoFileType fileType. ( VuoFileType, for now, is an enum type containing: Image, Audio, Movie, Text, Scene.) Eventually we could expand it to use a custom input editor allowing the user to enter a custom extension / mime-type.
- VuoList_VuoUrl files
Additional nodes: Get List of Images: node that takes VuoList_VuoUrl as input and provides VuoList_VuoImage as output. Same with VuoSceneObject and VuoText.
In Vuo 0.9, we added a few
