custom file explorer

While I sent it as a feature request, maybe there is different way around.

"Find files" prim could have two more nodes. One output for showing
synchronized file sizes, and one output, to check file sizes (so that
it's not triggered automatically by default in large folders). Very
large audio files on a computer with 2gb of ram - will not load (out
of memory), and when making custom file explorer (with filters) -
it's not possible to say which ones.


Anyone played with such custom file explorer, that would show file properties, like filesizes?

Been working on some Ruby stuff for file management, but not very far developed yet - so far, I just use it "internally" in Ruby code, so it still needs making into a module that can be used with the "green" connectors.
Through Ruby you can read almost all of the file/folder attributes very easily - file size, creation time, last changed time, read-only flags etc. It also has very good folder searching - e.g. wild-cards, recursive searches into sub-folders etc.
