I see that we use
IsReparsePoint()in 3 places and with the fix in 2 places we useIsReparsePoint()withIsNameSurrogateReparsePoint(). So question is should we do the same inprivate static string Mode(PSObject instance, bool excludeHardLink)too? If yes make sense join both the methods in one?There was a problem hiding this comment.

I saw that as well. In the 3rd case, it's used to construct the
Modeproperty. I'm fine leaving that as-is so that an online file still shows up aslto indicate it is a link of some type. Alternative would be to introduce aoto indicate online, but that may be confusing to users.Uh oh!

My thoughts was that if user calls Mode property to display we will download the file in the same way as with NameString(). Did you the check?

Of course, this is a matter of taste, but I tend to favor using "o" over "l" because "a link of some type" is also somewhat confusing--I prefer being able to easily tell an online file from a symlink.

@PowerShell/powershell-committee reviewed this. Currently, the length is in parenthesis already if the file is not downloaded locally so there doesn't seem to be a need to change the left column of mode introducing a new value. Instead our recommendation is to continue to use
lto show it is a link.There was a problem hiding this comment.

@iSazonov
Modeis displayed by default and doesn't incur a download of the file.
