fix: Incorrect file copied message (#37)#45
Conversation
When copying a file outside the original directory (cwd) the file is not copied, this is expected, but the user still gets the following message: [file] has been copied! This is incorrect, this commit fixes the issue by verifying the result status from the copy operation and prints the appropriate message '[file] has been copied!' or '[file] has not been copied' depending on whether the operation succeeded or not.

As a heads up, I'll try to look at this by mid next week :) It very much looks like a good change but also not urgent and I just want to have one clean pass whether typical scenarios are properly handled. |

One thing that comes to mind here (referring to my other post), for instance are copying folders.
IIRC my plenary PR correctly, a folder would return a table of
{
file_a.ext = bool,
file_b.ext = bool,
folder = { ... },
}Hence, I think we'd be erroneously printing success, whenever one of the sub-files is copied improperly.

Thanks for pointing this out @fdschmidt93
I think you are onto something, but actually, we are not printing any message for copied folders.
I also noticed something interesting when copying files/folders, we are copying only the files/folders in the current dir and the first sub-dir down, all other deeper levels are recursively copied over, but we don't get a result for those file/directories after the first level down.
I need to take a closer look into this. I'll try to work on this sometime tomorrow.

Some broader thoughts to (I will also) have think more about:
This goes a bit into the thought of making current multi-selections more visible, see discussion as per #41 |
