[jira] [Commented] (IO-364) Allow DirectoryWalker provide relative paths in handle*()

["Elliotte Rusty Harold (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-364?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17814086#comment-17814086 ] 

Elliotte Rusty Harold commented on IO-364:
------------------------------------------

I did something like this while working on copyDirectory. This would have some problems. I think we'd need to pass a root file path down through the various walk/handle methods so it would be new API. Also, with Java 8+ and Paths.relativize in the JDK it's no longer hard to subtract one path from another, so I recommend closing this one as Won't Do.

> As it's much easier to concat base path and additional path than "substracting" one path from other, I suggest:
> The `File` object provided by `handleFile()` and other `handle*` methods should (optionally) contain path relative to the one passed to `walk()`.
