Summary
The documentation demonstrates Windows bias in several ways: Java examples use Windows-style paths and reference ffmpeg.exe, with no mention of Linux equivalents or cross-platform considerations. The Java section instructs users to use a Windows-specific executable and path format, and does not provide Linux alternatives or guidance. PowerShell is mentioned as an upload option for Azure Files, but Linux-native tools (e.g., scp, rsync) are not referenced. The Python section does mention chmod for Linux, but overall, Windows tools and patterns are presented first or exclusively, especially in Java examples.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-specific examples for Java, including use of ffmpeg (not ffmpeg.exe) and Linux-style paths.
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform considerations in all code samples, such as path separators and executable file extensions.
  • Include Linux-native upload tools (e.g., scp, rsync, sftp) as alternatives to PowerShell for uploading files to Azure Files.
  • Add notes or code samples showing how to set executable permissions on Linux for Java (e.g., using chmod in deployment scripts).
  • Ensure that documentation sections do not assume Windows as the default environment, and present Linux options equally or first where appropriate.
