SearchDirectories.Insert method should have additional input parameter for excluding hidden subdirectories

Status: New

TestStand API SearchDirectory objects in TestStand have the following writeable properties:

 

Disabled
ExcludeFileExtension
ExcludeHiddenSubdirectories
FileExtensionRestrictions
Path
SearchSubdirectories

 

When you use the SearchDirectories.Insert method to add a new search directory, you can only specify the following for the new search directory:

 

Disabled

ExcludeFileExtension

FileExtensionRestrictions

Path

SearchSubdirectories

 

It would be really nice if the SearchDirectories.Insert method also had an additional input parameter for setting the ExcludeHiddenSubdirectories property for the new search directory.  This would result in a more consistent interface and fewer API calls when working with new search directories.
