That's a good starting point. Here are a couple of issues with the patch:<br>
<br>
1. SetIndicator(..) won't work in client-server mode. We need to be<br>
smart about this in client-server mode and consolidates the tests to<br>
avoid performance degradation for a large number of files.<br>
2. Duplication of ResolveEnvironmentVariables()<br>
3. Style issues: indentation, missing {} after if (), etc.<br>
