Hi colin
good that you did that because I was starting to do the same. This file stuff was too frustrating.
- I read the tutorial and I scanned the code (too early this morning) and I could not see how to rename a file.
without copying it.
- why having this in the tests and not in the classes?
createDirectory: aString
filesystem createDirectory: (filesystem stringToPath: aString)
createFile: aString
filesystem createFile: (filesystem stringToPath: aString)
- It was not clear to me how we map the old interface readyOnlyFileNamed and friends
- ref := FSWindowsFilesystem stringToReference: 'D:\Squeak\3.10'.
I was wondering if reference should be part of the user domain
because why not
ref := FSWindowsFilesystem on: 'D:\Squeak\3.10'. or
ref := FSWindowsFilesystem folder: 'D:\Squeak\3.10'.
I was confused by FSReference vs. FSPath
- I would really like to see how we can get rid of FileDirectory and use your lib and its improved version.
