Hi Rob,
Download of an entire folder is implemented in DMX 4. DMX 3 has 'zip & unpack upload'. This will be implemented in a later revision of DMX 4.
Kind regards,
Peter

Peter,
It doesn't look like there is a way to do versioning iwth the zip & unpack upload though, is that a valid statement? all of the files extracted from the zip file would be their own first version?

Thanks,

Rob

Hi Rob,

Correct. Currently the filename is not assumed 'safe' for identifying a file. Every file gets its own title and and internal ID. The latter is the only property that is assumed safe for referencing a file. As a result the unzip has not been used to version files. All you have in the zip file are file names, not the IDs of the files. I foresee that DMX 4 will one day implement a powerful bulk upload feature where the user can tune this when uploading.

Note that relying this much on zips means you expect users to know very well how to zip up their work. The method you want is prone to errors in zipping. For a start you could make an error and have all entries in a subdirectory. Uploading this would not result in the expected versioning but in a new document tree. If the user is not aware of this you can get into all kinds of trouble. If I were you I'd check if WebDAV was not a better option.
