Directory tool to list folders with no files or only list folders

[fmvizcaino]

Hi everyone,

Add two additional features to a directory tool. Something like this:

Use cases:

1. Since it is not possible to use a folder browse on the Gallery, this could help a basic user create a list of possible folders to select from with the help of a drop-down

2. Directory analysis for cleaning purposes - currently, if you want to get a list of the folders with Alteryx, it takes forever for big file servers since Alteryx is mapping all the files

Both are achievable today through regex or a bat script.

Thank you,

Fernando Vizcaino

Listing empty directories should be a default. If the data is there, we can filter it. But if we don't receive it, we need workarounds....

I agree with this.  It would also be nice to have a function to convert relative paths to absolute (in a formula tool)
