Okay, a well-known third-party library will work if a script/application really
needs this information. I just wanted to bring it up for consideration because
I saw an issue for cross-platform PowerShell 6 [1] where it was decided to
disable placeholder disguising
Steve Dower added the comment:
Given the minimum version requirement, I'd rather this support go into a
third-party library. (Seems like a great candidate for a context manager, too.)
Recalling our debates about symlinks, I'd have to say that nothing about
placeholder files qualifies them as
New submission from Eryk Sun :
Windows 10 apparently defaults to disguising placeholder reparse points in
python.exe processes, but exposes them to cmd.exe and powershell.exe processes.
A common example is a user's OneDrive folder, which extensively uses
placeholder reparse points for files
