Dear Sylvain, two small of comments to points not covered in your second mail. Quoting [Sylvain Reynaud] (Jun 04 2009):

...

NSEntry.remove() allows !Recursive flag:

The is actually in the spec, as

saga::directory d (url); d.remove (0); // 0: empty flag set, i.e. Recursive is not set

I think what you want is to change the semantics, from

- a â??BadParameterâ?? exception is thrown if the entry is a directory and the â??Recursiveâ?? flag is not set.

- a â??BadParameterâ?? exception is thrown if the entry is a *nonempty* directory and the â??Recursiveâ?? flag is not set.

Would that solve your use case?

Yes (my use-case is: "how to implement rmdir").

I'll fix that in the spec, if nobody objects.

...

job attribute 'NativeJobDescription' added

I assume that is a read-only attribute?

Yes.

...

What is the use case for this one? Debugging?

Yes. I don't expect it to be included in the specification.

Understand. For what its worth: this feature has been discussed multiple times, but mostly in the other direction: people wanted to be able to submit natve job submission via SAGA. That might (or might not) make it into the spec in the next version. Best, Andre. -- Nothing is ever easy.
