Thank you for your desire to contribute to our examples! I'm glad you were able to build something useful with Gio. However, I don't think this particular application is well-suited to be in the official examples repository. Our examples generally are trying to illustrate how to use a particular aspect of Gio's APIs, and are expected to work as widely as possible across supported platforms.

This application seems to exercise the same API surface as several of the others, and it's specialized such that it only works on Windows.

Might I also recommend that you consider explorer for selecting the source and destination paths, instead of requiring the user to type the path every time?

I recommend that you maintain LISY as a separate Gio application. It doesn't need to be merged into gio-example for it to be useful to the community.

Thank you for your detailed response.
As suggested, I will develop LISY as a separate repository under my account.
I noticed that gio's explorer can allow me to choose a file, but not an empty folder.
