Comment:

 I believe the title of this defect could be better changed to
 "get_plugin_files() only processes one subfolder".

 I was using this function until I realised that it can't handle nested
 folders.
 e.g.it would only go as far as listing the sub-folder name. e.g. my-
 plugin/folder1/folder2
 None of the files within folder2 would be listed. So my-
 plugin/folder1/folder2/myphp.php would not be shown.

 A number of patches have been supplied for #24050 and #6531.

 With regards to these supplied patches, they could be slightly improved.

 If there was a parameter allowing the function to list ALL files
 regardless of folder depth, with the default being false, then I believe
 these fixes could be safely applied.
 They won't fix the plugin and theme editor problems but it would fix my
 particular problem.

 In the mean time, I will have to use a different routine.
