I know, using the develop version is for me that there are more
things possible with it than version 1.
I had in the past, about using the latest library by Daniel, a comment
that the hope is that at the final release of gambas the 'latest' also is
main stream by the distributions.
Makes sense. Same could see for me/my project.

As far I know you, your  inventive work, you have already something :)

The (file) directory was used as example, because it looks the same as the
result of the datebase tree for the project.

Well that will not easy to do, my code is at least a mess, shame to me :)
Beside it is very dependend on using a database having many ghost tables to
find the best way for working.

Because it is not a real filesystem but a browser like a filesystem to find 
the relevant data for the product in process.

P.S.

When quoting your post it always end in above Regards without your name.
I belive it is because your name is below the signature marker of '--'
instead above it

Thanks for reply,
