; ==================== IMPORTANT NOTES =============================================================
; PL/SQL Developer has an amazing "desktop=" feature which allows you to autosave your workspace(s) and re-load all open windows on startup.
; However, this feature breaks when you have multiple monitor configurations, e.g. when remoting in from a laptop, or possibly saving the workspaces on a shared drive.
; In this situation, PL/SQL Developer puts single-monitor setups in the root folder, and multi-monitor setups in a folder named for the resolution of those desktops.
; So if you have a workspace open on one machine and then remote in, suddenly the autosave is happening to a different folder.
; Given that this is happening, but that I would prefer my workspaces to operate seamlessly regardless of how I am accessing them,
; I want something that can automatically detect when any ".cfg" file is created or updated in any of the folders and keep the others at the newest version.
; Also, PL/SQL Developer, when working in a single directory, will delete temporary files that are no longer in use. This script *would* keep those deleted files alive
; by continually copying them into other directories and back again. This won't really harm anything, since they won't be connected to any workspaces. So, to reduce
; clutter I have also added a check to detect when they are not in use. So for the root directory and each Monitors directory, this script will loop through non-cfg
; files, then parse the corresponding "desktop.*.cfg" file to see whether the filename appears in any of them. If not, it will delete it. Note that this means ANY FILE
; in this folder starting with "desktop." (and not ending in ".cfg" or ".ini") or ending in ".0xx" will be deleted if it does not belong to a PL/SQL Developer workspace.
; Sometimes we get "crash" files which are handled poorly by this script. I don't know how to detect when these ones are no longer necessary.
; EXTRA-IMPORTANT NOTE: This script is not very thoroughly vetted yet, and it deletes/overwrites files. Thus, *back up* the entire PLS-Recovery directory before *each* use.
; At some point, I'd love to have this run automatically, maybe several times per hour. As it stands, it should be run prior to opening workspaces and probably only then.
; Also, it needs to be run several times until there is no output, since it's moving and deleting files in a very specific order. Probably best to do this while no
; PL/SQL Developer windows are open so that files aren't being modified by both at the same time.

Make sense?
And you're right, junctioning subdirectories like that puts the entire universe in danger
