Comment #11 on issue 1613 by pekka.klarck: OperatingSystem: New `Move/Copy
Files` keywords for moving/copying multiple files (incl. wildcard support)
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=1613
I didn't actually look at the code but obviously knew 2) and 3) could be
addressed. The main problem would have been, as you also noticed,
documenting the functionality so that others would have been able to use
it. Requiring users to add a path separator when they want to move/copy
files to a non-existing directory would have also been somewhat annoying,
especially when that is one of the main use cases of these keywords.
Finally, adding special features for moving/copying a single file to a
keyword that is designed to move multiple files would just be a bit odd.
As I already noted, this functionality to move/copy single not-fully-known
file would very well fit into to the existing Move/Copy File keywords. It
wouldn't make any other use case harder and documenting the functionality
would also be pretty simple. We'd just need to add a not like "The source
can also be a glob pattern that matches exactly one file. This allows
moving/copying files whose name is not fully known." Anyway, adding that
functionality requires a separate issue.
