File Meta Info (legacy)

This node finds out meta information about the files referenced by the URI column and appends it to the table.

This legacy file handling node has been replaced by the Files/Folders Meta Info and will be deprecated in the foreseeable future. For further information about the new file handling framework see the File Handling Guide.

Options

URI column
Column with the path to the files.
Fail if file does not exist
Aborts execution if one of the files does not exist. Enabling this option will also enable the check for local files (see below) because file existence usually cannot be checked for remote files.
Fail execution if URI does not point to local file
Aborts execution if one of the URIs does not point to a local file. A correct URI to a local file has the scheme "file" or "knime" in front of it.

Input Ports

Icon
Table that contains the URI of the files in a column.

Output Ports

Icon
Input table with the meta information appended. Contained information:
Directory

Size of the file in human readable form.
Last modified
The last time the file was modified.
Permissions
