Hi Elizabeth,
The only things I see missing are an addFile and addDirectory shortcut
methods for when I don't want to mess with all the metadata or creating
iterators.
addDirectory() is called createDirectory() in my RFC, just ignore the
return value. What would you like addFile() to do? Adding an empty file?
cu, Lars
Not add an empty directory - just add a directory and its contents much
like the Phar::create would do - an assumption that you want everything
in that directory inside with no iterators or magic required.
Hmm.. and how would you tell the difference between: empty directory
creation, adding an existing directory plus contents, and whether the action
is recursive or not? I think this needs a bit more thought.
addFile(filename) would just add a file - no thinking required, although
if there was an addDirectory you wouldn't really need it.
I think I'm probably missing something here... (haven't read the entire
thread, can you tell?) addFile() in many cases would actually involve more
typing than we do currently via array access...?
I'm just of the opinion that the less I have to write for common actions
the better.
Yes, I'm with you on that part. The main problem is that I don't know if
Greg would want me or Marcus to add functionality (even aliasing-type
shortcuts) this week, while we're in alpha. I rather suspect he'd like to
leave edge-smoothing for 2.1.0 and just get the thing out there and tested
ASAP, otherwise I'd be implementing everything Greg implemented last weekend
right now :-)
We don't actually have missing functionality at this stage... everything
mentioned here boils down to 'prettification'. So while it can definitely go
down as 'wishlist' stuff, it's not actually essential.
