FileZilla 3 development diary
Moderator: Project members
Long time no update, it has been a busy week.
I'm working on the directory cache now, which is required for the LIST command logic which can't be properly implemented without the cache.
In most parts, the cache will be a copy of it's FZ2 counterpart, though some parts will be modified, because some servers use a case-sensitive file system, while others don't. The old cache could cause some problems in this case. Luckily I did not get any negative feedback on the old cache before.

Remember Directory after upload
Since you're talking about directory cache, I thought I'd bring bug number 809563 to your attection. This only happens when directory cache is turned on in Filezilla 2:
When you click on a directory on the remote
side and then click on another directory and upload to
that directory, it goes back to the previous directory
after uploading the files.

Changing Remote Directory on Upload
Since the FZ3 engine will be much different than FZ2, will I be able to change to different remote directories while files are queued to upload as described in bug 953426?
Deleting Symbolic Links
I am also curious about symbolic link behavior. Will it be possible to delete symbolic links without them deleting the linked files as well? This would then mimic bash and X Windows more closely.
Re: Deleting Symbolic Links
As long as the directory are already cached or the server supports multiple connections: Yes.Since the FZ3 engine will be much different than FZ2, will I be able to change to different remote directories while files are queued to upload as described in bug 953426?
Yes. If a link is in your selection and you delete it, you will be asked wheter to remove the link target as well.
