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.
> Allow DirectoryWalker provide relative paths in handle*()

> Key: IO-364
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-364
> Project: Commons IO
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Utilities
> Affects Versions: 2.4
> Reporter: Ondra Žižka
> Priority: Major
>
> {code}
> handleFile( File file, int depth, Collection results )
> {code}
> and other methods provide a file object with full path.
> 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()`.
