@ctrueden do you mind testing this on a non-Windows system? I just made a new file in the /update structure and verified it was copied over to the equivalent location, and that an empty file in /update would lead to the corresponding file deletion.

We're currently missing special logic to handle updating launcher files 😬 any thoughts there?

I rebased over the latest main branch, and changed move to mv. I may look into the stat versus length thing later this weekend. If not, we can check it on Monday.

@hinerm I updated the File class to have a length field now instead of a stat() function. I also tidied up the Windows code such that length and lines() share common code as appropriate. I tested on Linux and all is working. Could you please test on Windows? If it still works on Windows, we can merge it!

I did find one limitation in my tests: if there is a file in the update folder inside a directory that does not exist in the main directory structure, the logic does not create the matching directory first, so the mv operation fails. We can remedy this by doing a mkdir (recursively as needed) before moving the file.

All seems good on windows

@ctrueden ok, making empty intermediate directories should work now. Anything else before merging?

Nuh uh.... ☹️

@ctrueden supposedly this was fixed in 1.6.0 so I don't know why it's a problem?

Whew! Finally working on all platforms. 😌
