Example Scenarios

NOTE: Toss All Files context menu item works exactly the same as Toss File except it includes all currently open files

Invoke the plugin via Toss File context menu item by right clicking on the current file, or pressing Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P and executing the Toss File command

Example 1 (assume you are using the settings listed above):

1. Run the toss file command against a file, for example /home/source1/my/special/file/file.txt
2. The file is copied to /home/destination1/my/special/file/file.txt
3. If the directory at step 2 doesn't already exist, it will be created

Example 2 (assume you are using the settings listed above):

1. Run the toss file command against a file, for example /home/source77/my/special/file/file.txt
2. No matches found, nothing happens
