6.23.00
Updated gam <UserTypeEntity> copy|move drivefile to produce more
informative progress messages. The source file name(ID) are shown
as well as the target parent folder name(ID) and target file/folder name(ID).
Deleted options copytopfileparents, copytopfolderparents copysubfileparents and copysubfolderparents
from gam <UserTypeEntity> copy drivefile as multi-parent file/folders can not be copied with multiple parents.
Updated gam <UserTypeEntity> copy drivefile to use shortcuts when the same file appears more that once in the copy.
The first time the file is processed, it is copied; if it is processed again (because of multiple parents within the source
folder structure), a shortcut is created that points to the first copy.
Added option copiedshortcutspointtocopiedfiles [<Boolean>] to gam <UserTypeEntity> copy drivefile.
In previous versions, copying shortcuts caused an error because shortcuts can't be copied, they must be re-created.
If a shortcut in the source structure points to a file/folder that is not in the source structure:
- The shortcut is re-created to point to the original file/folder.
If a shortcut in the source structure points to a file/folder that is in the source structure: copiedshortcutspointtocopiedfilesomitted orcopiedshortcutspointtocopiedfiles true- The shortcut is re-created to point to the copied file/folder.copiedshortcutspointtocopiedfiles false- The shortcut is re-created to point to the original file/folder.
Deleted options copysubfileparents and copysubfolderparents
from gam <UserTypeEntity> move drivefile as multi-parent file/folders can not be moved with multiple parents.
Added option createshortcutsfornonmovablefiles [<Boolean>] to gam <UserTypeEntity> move drivefile
to control processing of non-movable files; for example, files owned by users outside of your domain.
It causes GAM to create a shortcut in the target folders for files in the source folders that are not movable.
createshortcutsfornonmovablefilesomitted orcreateshortcutsfornonmovablefiles false- No shortcuts
are created and an error message is given explaining why the file can't be moved.createshortcutsfornonmovablefiles true- A shortcut is created that points to the non-movable file.
