Ideally, this would allow a user to upload a folder and all its children.
I was trying to add the files for the Webshim library into the filecache and it has a lot of files (with quite a few folders deep, see image). I have resorted to uploading the file structure manually.
I tried adding a folder using the uploader, however the cms takes the folder name and uploads it as a type of .file
It would quite handy to have an "upload folder" button under the files tab, as this would save a lot of time. Thanks :)
This sounds like a very useful suggestion. We will look to include this feature in a future version.
I have also come across this today in deploying the new Public Notes plugin. This has a single folder with many children. Given the structure of the folder tree (plugins > Public Notes) this would suggest that this may be the norm in future so having a folder upload option would save a bunch of time and remove the possibility human error.
