bool set_tree_mode (bool bTreeFlag)

bTreeFlag : A Boolean value that enables or disables ingesting files from sub-folders within the top-level scan folder.

True: Search for files in subfolders to any depth under the scan folder. This is the default if the action is not called.

False: Ingest files that are located in the scan folder only. Ignore subfolders.

If tree mode is enabled, each batch contains files from only one folder. Files from multiple folders are never ingested into the same batch.

For this action to take effect, it must be called before the Scan action.

Example:

set_types("tif")
set_tree_mode(True)
scan()
