rootprint/rootls missing recursive traversal
Explain what you would like to see improved and how.
rootprint
does not output canvases that are stored inside a subdirectory.
The CLI should accept a 'recursive' parameter that allows to deal with these cases

The code is in $ROOTSYS/main/python/cmdLineUtils.py
at line 1394. The function retrieving the list of objects to be printed is:
def _keyListExtended(rootFile,pathSplitList):
keyList,dirList = keyClassSpliter(rootFile,pathSplitList)
for pathSplit in dirList: keyList.extend(getKeyList(rootFile,pathSplit))
keyList = [key for key in keyList if not isDirectoryKey(key)]
keyListSort(keyList)
return keyList
Somehow it should be extended in order to scan sub-directories.
Reopening as the merged PR only implemented rootls but not yet rootprint
