Suppressing information box on load failure

Is it possible to avoid the popup message that reads:

Quote

Could not load info (Unsupported file format) from:
<filepath>

Also, is it possible to make it so that the list of handles that comes back contains only items that are valid file types, or is there a function to filter the list afterward?

What I am trying to do is process all the items in a directory and create a list of all the valid handles without the popup message occuring... my former method of finding valid handles was this function, but I am thinking there might be a better way:

Code: [Select]

static bool useable_handle(metadb_handle_ptr handle)
{
    if ( handle->get_length() > 0.00 )
  return true;
    if ( strstr(handle->get_path(),"http" ) )
  return true;
    return false;
}

This is how I am calling process_locations:

Code: [Select]

         static_api_ptr_t<playlist_incoming_item_filter> p;
         p->process_locations( file_list, list, true, 0, 0, m_hwnd_tree );

See g_process_path and g_process_path_ex in playlist_loader.

EDIT: Nevermind, it looks like I could just procecss only files using g_process_path and recurse into directories myself and avoid redoing g_process_path.

Thanks.

Is it possible to force g_process_path to avoid recursing into subdirectories?

I see that the code for g_process_path and its worker function process_path_internal are both in the SDK, and I could make make a modified function similar to g_process_path that does not recurse, but there might be an easier way.
