Yep, that dirEntries Exception is quite the show stopper. You need to be certain that you have access to all directories that it may encounter, which makes it unusable for file system roots, but also breaks way to easily with unreadable directories in user directories when all you need is a list of the _accessible_ files. The bug reports so far: std.file: dirEntries-range crashes, when hitting the system folder "System Volume Information" https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12513 DirEntries throws in foreach https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12391 dirEntries throws when encountering a "long path" on windows https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8967 -- Marco
