Ok, I spent the night reading through the puny little pieces of code and came up with this:

since the item supplied never m_bisFolder (in my case) it never checks if there are any lonely nfo-files in the directory. so... I used my mad copy/paste coding skills and created this:

Code:

+            return items[numNFO]->m_strPath;
+        }
+      }
     }
     if (item->m_bIsFolder || (bGrabAny && nfoFile.IsEmpty()))
     {

Please have a look at this, I tested it and it seems to work.
