Pass type to directorylist and cfdirectory filter closure

Description

Sometimes it would be nice to be able to know whether a path is a file or a directory when passing a closure to the filter parameter of the directoryList() function or the cfdirectory tag.

directoryList( path='C:/', filter=function( path, type ){ if( path contains 'foo' && type == 'dir' ) { return true; } return false; } );

Turns out this was already implemented, but the documentation wasn’t updated…. https://luceeserver.atlassian.net/browse/LDEV-4393

Only quirk to note is that type argument is either file or directory, whereas query returns file or dir

Came looking to see if there was a way to filter a directoryList by dateLastModified and found this Issue. Agree with below that being able to filter by any of the columns returned would be most helpful, as I’m trying to get a listing of files in a directory older than 14 days and have to loop through the entire query to do it. Seems like it should be possible to use the filter UDF to do this and passing a struct in addition to the path for compatibility would be the best way to accomplish this.

+1. This issue should be marked as incompat, since ACF passes three arguments: path, type, and extension, whereas Lucee only passes the path argument.

re performance, I guess Lucee is using apache commons io for this, lucee bundles 2.4 which was released way back in 2012

2.6 requires java 7, so there maybe some performance wins available from simply upgrading?
