IPM FileCopy Question

[isc-jlou]

If a module copy files into a shared directory and you uninstall that module, the shared directory would be deleted. As an example, HealthConnect.FHIRMeta and HealthConnect.FHIRMeta.R5 both copy files into /dev/fhir/fhir-metadata/. I have a solution module that only needs HealthConnect.FHIRMeta. When I uninstall my solution module, the entire /dev/fhir/fhir-metadata/ directory is deleted.

I wonder if it seems like a good idea to have an IPM feature that only removes the specific files, instead of the directory, that a module copied.

@isc-jlou I agree that if a FileCopy resource has Overlay=1, it should keep track of its files and only delete those on uninstall instead of the entire directory. Would you mind filing an issue for this?
