    Hey, I'm want to make an array of all the maps in the Maps/ folder.
    currently I am using this, but it doesn't return any files that are in the sub folders.

    Is there a way to iterate through Maps/ and it's sub folders or do I have to iterate the separate folder paths?

    Uh you're searching for matches to "Maps/.png" - the plus concatenates those 2 strings beforehand, they aren't separate arguments. Just "Maps/" might work (not sure, been a while), but if not you might indeed need to know the directories in advance I'm afraid. Could have a config file to specify them to future proof it I guess?

    Oh right, seems weird it returns anything at all then XD. "Maps/" just does the same but returns any other files too. All good.
    While you're triggered, is there a way to reload a file on the fly? I want to save the current map to a png (cached image) and then load that png as a preview image for an actual savemap.

    The .png soft-matches anything with a png extension.

    I don't think images on disk reload on the fly but you could render it out to a script texture. If specifying those for GUI rendering isn't implemented yet (can't remember if I got time for that) I could add it (and in the meantime you could add a special-purpose blob that just displays that texture and positions itself in screen space).
