Q: File System Shape?

[crgardner]

Any plans to create a File System shape?

I believe it's one of the shapes that Simon Brown shows in his presentation linked

Hi, I couldn't find the shape you are mentioning. I tried using a folder or a file instead of the default rectangle but it doesn't look that great.

Re-opening this as it is under consideration in #145

@Potherca: I would remove it from v2.3.0 because I think we should not add it (and all other points are basically implemented)

[Potherca]

Based on the discussion in #145, the current mindset is to not implement a folder shape.

To summarize:

We should not add (too many) shapes, otherwise we would have to make a very generic implementation and we lose the C4 relation and create a new "Meta" notation.

As Simon Brown stated in #97

there is no "C4 model notation" [..] feel free to use whatever shapes/icons you like

Adding the shape is only half of the solution. To my mind, we should not be adding shapes but Container, Components, etc.

So, unless some very convincing arguments are posted, this issue will not be re-opened.
