Dirwalker - Simplistic and Ergonomic Directory Browser

[Sanmayce]

Hi mnrvovrfc, bplus, Pete.
Don't know why it took me so long to find the new forum, perhaps, I was kinda hopeless seeing a promising project going to limbo.

Anyway, QB is a living legend, cannot die, the beautiful/fast code is about to be written/shown.

I wanna see your suggestions/opinions on what you wanna see in one extra-well-written Directory Browser.
What functionality is a-must, what is desirable, and what drives you crazy.

The main goal, the QB community to have one nifty tool for directory contents browsing, as a start.

By the way, last night I replaced transparently the 'Exact' search with the fastest wildcard search function, by chance, written by me in C, hee-hee. To be shared tomorrow night...

Regarding globbing/wildcards, a funfact, there was one American coder who wrote in 2005 an article and C function, with 1.1M views, however in 2013 I dethroned him as being fastest, the unappreciative guys turn a blind eye, typical soullessness.

Code: (Select All)

And from Intel's 'wildbench.cod' included in the benchmark, you can see:
_WildcardMatch_Iterative_JackHandy: 000ce-00000+2= 208 bytes long
_WildcardMatch_Iterative_Kaze: 000a3-00000+13= 176 bytes long

This very function will reinforce QB64, outperforming all smartasses.
