Writing to source folder may create unexpected behavior for user

Issue #409 closed
Dave Lebbing created an issue

Scenario:

  • a workflow includes a packages folder that contains non-packaged apps
  • user saves to volume
  • MDS creates packages for the non-packaged apps and saves them to the source folder, then moves the non-packaged apps to new archive folders.

The user does not have a reason to expect that saving to volume will alter a location other than the destination volume chosen. This could result in problems if the user did not desire that the source volume where the non-packaged apps was altered, for example if it was low on space or if other resources referenced the original folder structure that was altered by the packaging operation.
