Hi Ninju, Could you describe the difference in functionality between the stackoverflow answer and the current implementation in FileUtils? I think that it would not be too hard to get the type of functionality added if it was defined precisely.
Also, would you be willing to volunteer to add the code yourself? I'm relatively new around here and I've found that the best way to get something done is to offer to do it yourself.
