Oh, now the whole thread makes sense to me! I thought your problem was that
if you have a *directory* named "x.jpg" and issued

  RDir(..., "*.{png,jpg}", gb.File)

the gb.File filter was ignored and you were reported the directory "x.jpg",
because the "*.{png,jpg}" pattern matched. But you just wanted to get rid of
the directory component. Then you have your solution (use File.Name on s)
and there is no problem. Our RDir()s behave the same.

Tobi
