Good morning, well I would like to be able to manage the outcome of the processing myself and not get an exception in a part where I have no control.
For example, I would expect to get an exception when I tried to read a file where I don't have the permission. I would not expect to get an exception when Java creates the Stream<Path>. Maybe I am the only one to have a problem with this ? I don't know but it feels strange to be forced to execute a software with root permissions where I don't even plan to read file I cannot read because of lack of permissions. For me, we should be able to test the attributes of a file and depending on the result, read the file or not. If we read the file without permission, we get an exception, if not, we can go to the next file without error. If that's unclear, please let me know, I'll try to give more informations or examples. Thank you.
