Hi,
I've just finished modifying Bradgom's BGDirtree_widget compound widget.
The new version (HMDirTree_Widget) I've created is largely based on his, with some important changes:
1) HMDirTree_Widget does not issue one spawn command per folder. Issuing
so many spawn commands made the windows task bar go crazy.
2) HMDirTree_Widget does not handle files, only folders.
3) HMDirTree_Widget has no dependencies
4) HMDirTree_Widget always starts by searching for the available fixed
drives (hard drives and network drives) and creating a list.
To avoid hanging on slow network connections, the network drives are
listed, but only explored when the user selects them.
5) HMDirTree_Widget allows only to select single directories, not multiple.
6) HMDirTree_Widget works only with IDL versions 8.0 or higher.
7) HMDirTree_Widget works on Windows only.

If anybody is interested, the code can be found here. https://github.com/heldermarchetto/HMDirTree_Widget
As I said, it is largely based on Bradgom's work, so thanks to him for the hard work and for making his code available.

Regards,
Helder
