Hello,

I guess I could do that.
The script (which now works fine) is searching for
empty directories from a specific starting point.
The script then either adds a file placeholder
or removes the empty directory.

There's some logic inside the loop but it could
possibly be shoehorned into the exec....(?)

Putting it inside the loop makes it more clear,
after 6 months of not looking at it, what the intent
of the script was from a step-wise perspective.
