List Files (vuo.file.list)

Gives a list of all files in a folder.

The easiest way to set Folder (if not leaving it blank) is to drag the folder from Finder onto the constant flag next to the port.

The Folder can be either a path or a file:// URL. Examples:

If the folder’s location doesn’t start with file:// or /, then it’s treated as a relative path. This is the option you’d typically want when sharing the composition with others. If running the composition on a different computer than it was created on, the folder needs to exist in the same location relative to the composition (.vuo) file. If running an application exported from the composition, the folder needs to exist in the Contents/Resources folder inside the application package; see the Vuo Manual for details.

If the folder’s location starts with file:// or /, then it’s treated as an absolute path. If running the composition on a different computer than it was created on, the folder needs to exist in the same location on that computer.
