Re: [Ranger-users] Scanning all directories at once

[Hut]

Hi, thank you very much, and yes, with some python magic:

:eval for dir in fm.thisdir.files: dir.load_content(schedule=True) if 
dir.is_directory else 0

You can turn it into a command with
:alias preload eval for dir in fm.thisdir.files: 
dir.load_content(schedule=True) if dir.is_directory else 0
:preload

or a keybinding with
:map x eval for dir in fm.thisdir.files: dir.load_content(schedule=True) if 
dir.is_directory else 0
