Xojo’s file recursion is notoriously slow in this regard (at least on Windows). Most folks use declares or MBS for this.

Take a look at this relatively recent thread:

Directory Scanning

Simpler than I expected I added a parameter [Filemask()] to the function and then modified for j as Int32 = 0 to d.Ubound Files.Append d(j) next To for j as Int32 = 0 to d.Ubound For q as Integer=0 To FileMask.Ubound If d(j).Right(3)=FileMask(q) Then Files.Append d(j) next next The added parameter needs to be included in the call within the loop as well. Overall, there’s an barely perceptible drop in execution speed which is absolutely tolerable. With 25k files it add…
