Archive link copy of a file#

This page is generated from the code and must not be edited by hand.

A link an archive left in place of a file is a copy of the file of its name held elsewhere in the folders read, matched by name and by the folders its text names; nothing is opened.

archive_link_copy_of_a_file version 2

  • Kind of rule: Which files go together (groups). Says which things count as the same in some respect, and so forms groups.

  • What it concludes: equivalent, in respect of archived_copy

  • Reasoning: defeasible. A conclusion is usually right, and is retracted when a rule it names concludes against it.

  • What it reads: files, which it sorts into groups

Is it available in this version?#

Yes. The engine runs it.

What would defeat it#

What this rule concludes about something is withdrawn when any of these rules concludes about the same thing:

  • installed_software_in_folder: A folder is recognized as an installed program, such as a copy of Fiji or a Python environment, from the parts it holds, a name ending .app, its program-style subfolders or a majority of program files; its files are still indexed and read, and rules about experiments leave them alone.

Parameters#

It has no parameters.
