When I get some more time I will think about how to avoid it in second example as well. Something like replacing globPathLevel() with with globStatusLevel(). btw, glob path in second example is {{/usrer/*/file}}. was (Author: rangadi): You are right, it does what I described only in example 2 above and not in the first example.
