Operations on Remote VFS
Posted: Thu Jun 08, 2017 7:13 pm
I have a few requests please. I might have mentioned some of them over email few months back, but it's good to have them mentioned in the forum as well. They were low priority at the time, but perhaps it's now time to review them again now?
1. File Attributes on SFTP and other VFSs that could support it.
2. Symlinks on SFTP and other VFSs that could support it.
3. Make Tools to work on all VFSs that could support it. Ideally, have the option to pass selected files to the tool as parameters either in the form of a link (e.g., sftp://user@host/path) or in the form of a path of the local copy of the file, which is watched for changes (same way as External Editor works). For example making diffs before uploading files to SFTP is very common and this feature would make it much easier.
4. This is not VFS related, just a small cosmetic change. I would appreciate if theme editor allowed different colour for Size/Date columns in the list mode to allow the same look like Finder where Size/Date columns are lighter colour than Name column.
Many Thanks
