Applying a Transform Scenario to Just a Directory, Not Its Children

I have written an eXist-db xquery that imports all the files within a directory tree. One of the parameters is the directory to start from. If I apply this to a directory in the project view it appears that the transformation scenario is applied to all the subdirectories. I didn't see a way to turn off this behavior. Is it possible? For use from Oxygen I could modify my query to take a file as input and then import the directory that contains the file, but I was hoping to avoid that small complication.

Hi Eliot, When you apply a transformation scenario on a directory, Oxygen treats it as a batch transformation, so lists all the files from the directory and its subdirectories and applies the transformation scenario in turn for each of the files. This behavior cannot be altered because the transformation scenarios support only files for input, not directories. I'm afraid you'll have to use a workaround and apply the transformation on a file from that directory and then use ${cfdu} (or ${cfd} if it's a path) to refer the directory of that file.
