Re: [PEPr] Changes in proposal for File System::File_WinDrives

Hello Bertrand,

What means Win in System_WinDrives ? could you do also a System_MacDrives (no I don't mean these ones) ? The class is to get all possible roots on the windows operating system.

On unix, you just use "/" to have the root of all files. On Windows, it's a bit more difficult: You have multiple drives which aren't listed in a known place. So this extension just gets all "Drives" on windows. The term "Drive" in Windows speak is not necessarily a drive like a CD-Rom, but can be a harddisk or a mounted network drive as well. For that reason, it is called "Drives", and "WinDrives" as it is just for windows. Like explained earlier, a package which would list "drives" in unix speak (CD-ROMs, DVD drives and USB-Sticks only) for all operating systems should IMO called "System_Media" or "File_Media".
