Properties:

• public string base_type { get; set; }
  Base type identifier for serialization and database storage.
• public int cursor_line { get; set; }
  Last cursor line number (stored in database, default: 0).
• public int cursor_offset { get; set; }
  Last cursor character offset (stored in database, default: 0).
• public int64 delete_id { get; set; }
  Reference to FileHistory record where this file was deleted.
• public string display_approval_text { owned get; }
  Display text for approval list with visual indicators.
• public string display_approval_tooltip { owned get; }
  Tooltip text for approval list with full path and change type.
• public string display_name { get; set; }
  Display name for binding in lists.
• public virtual string display_with_indicators { get; }
  Display text with status indicators. Base implementation just returns display_name.
• public virtual string icon_name { get; set; }
  Icon name for binding in lists. Returns icon_name if set, otherwise a default based on type.
• public int64 id { get; set; }
  Database ID.
• public bool is_active { get; set; }
  Whether this is the currently active/viewed item.
• public bool is_alias { get; }
  Whether this is an alias/symlink. Computed property: Returns true if this is a FileAlias.
• public bool is_ignored { get; set; }
  Whether this file is ignored by git (stored in database, default: false).
• public bool is_need_approval { get; set; }
  Whether the file needs approval.
• public bool is_project { get; set; }
  Whether this folder represents a project (stored in database, default: false).
• public int is_repo { get; set; }
  Whether this folder is a git repository (stored in database, default: -1). -1 = not checked, 0 = checked and not a repo, 1 = it is a repo.
• public bool is_text { get; set; }
  Whether this file is a text file (stored in database, default: false).
• public bool is_unsaved { get; set; }
  Whether the file has unsaved changes.
• public string language { get; set; }
  Programming language (optional, for files).
• public string last_change_type { get; set; }
  The most recent change type from FileHistory ("added", "modified", "deleted", or ""). Set when is_need_approval is set to true.
• public int64 last_modified { get; set; }
  Unix timestamp of last modification (stored in database, default: 0).
• public int64 last_vector_scan { get; set; }
  Unix timestamp of last vector scan (stored in database, default: 0). For files: timestamp when vector scan completed (after successful vectorization). For folders: timestamp when vector scan started (to prevent re-recursion during same scan).
• public int64 last_viewed { get; set; }
  Unix timestamp of last view (stored in database, default: 0).
• public ProjectManager manager { get; construct; }
  Reference to ProjectManager.
• public Folder? parent { get; set; }
  Reference to parent folder (nullable for root folders/projects).
• public int64 parent_id { get; set; }
  Parent folder ID for database storage.
• public string path { get; set; }
  File/folder path.
• public string path_basename { owned get; }
  Basename derived from path (for property binding).
• public FileBase? points_to { get; set; }
  Reference to the FileBase object this alias points to (nullable, only set when is_alias = true). This is the actual object reference, loaded from database via points_to_id.
• public int64 points_to_id { get; set; }
  The ID of the FileBase object this alias points to (foreign key reference).
• public int scroll_position { get; set; }
  Last scroll position (stored in database, optional, default: 0).
• public string target_path { get; set; }
  The path of the FileBase object this alias points to (for database queries). This is stored in the database to enable efficient path-based lookups.
• public string tooltip { get; set; }
  Tooltip text for binding in lists.

Static methods:

• public static void init_db (Database db)
  Initialize database table for filebase objects.
• public static Query<FileBase> query (Database db, ProjectManager manager)
  Create a query object for filebase table with typemap configured.

Creation methods:

• protected FileBase (ProjectManager manager)
  Constructor.

Methods:

• public bool compare (FileBase other)
  Compare this FileBase with another to determine if they represent the same item. Used to check if a newly read file from filesystem matches the DB/memory version.
• public virtual void copy_db_fields_to (FileBase target)
  Copy database-preserved fields from this object to another.
• public FileInfo? get_target_info (string target_path)
  Get target info for a given path. Only queries the path - does not resolve symlinks recursively.
• public int64 mtime_on_disk ()
  Get modification time on disk (Unix timestamp).
• public void removeFromDB (Database db)
  Remove filebase object from SQLite database.
• public void saveToDB (Database db, FileBase? new_values = null, bool sync = true)
  Save filebase object to SQLite database.
• public abstract string to_summary (HashMap<int,VectorMetadata> keymap, string indent)
  Returns one or more lines for the project summary list.
