We would like to materialize an item programaticlay from the code. From the known apis there is no function that can do this. The fileproviderctl has an implementation for this functionality: ex: fileproviderctl materialize "a_file_path".
How can we achieve the same functionality as "fileproviderctl materialize" call ?
Thnaks.
fileproviderctl materialize just does the same thing as opening a file. When you try to access a placeholder file, the file provider will try to materialize the file.
It is not entirely true. If i open and try to read a file than it will be materilized, but if the file is zero bytes size, opening and reading doesn't materialize the file. but, if I am doing fileproviderctl materialize on that file than it will be materilized and the download icon dissapears. So fileproviderctl materialize does something more than opening the file. I am still looking for a solution in this case.
