Re-consider the file name and path fields on FileObject #326

Open johnwunder opened 10 years ago

Consider all the use cases for the FileObject and whether all fields currently used to express names, paths, extensions, and devices are necessary. Some early thoughts:

  1. Full_Path and Device_Path may be Windows-specific and thus moved to the WindowsFileObject
  2. File_Name, File_Path, and File_Extension overlap at certain points. Are all required? Is it clear how they should be interpreted?

This will be done in conjunction with #315

My gut feeling is that the first one needs some thought.

For the second one, there are some use cases that justify each of those individual fields, based on our suggested practices.
