The Jade 2025 release focuses on modernising the developer experience and helping you build faster, smarter, and more scalable applications.
Currently, FileNode::isAvailable tells me if the file exists AND can be opened with the requested mode. This can be a trap if I forget to set file mode to Mode_Input and the file is readonly, as it returns false even though the file exists.
It would be nice if there were a method that simply tells me if the file exists. It should take usePresentationFileSystem into consideration as well, to be useful for thin clients.
