Hi Jules,

in the DirectoryIterator ctor  
there is the following assert.

// you have to specify the type of files you’re looking for!  
jassert (whatToLookFor \> 0 && whatToLookFor \<= 3);

Problem is, it asserts when you gives  
juce::File::findFilesAndDirectories | juce::File::ignoreHiddenFiles  
which is valid.

jassert (whatToLookFor \> 0 && whatToLookFor \<= 7);  
should be the right test

Thanks,

---

Ok, thanks! Looks like an old assertion that needed updating.
