Re: [Fez-developers] Recursive directory trawling on ingest

[Matt P. <ma...@de...>]

In the words of the developer in my team who recently implemented the Drupal
WebFM module on our intranet - "it's a dog. A bloated dog, at that".

Was also thinking that zip file ingest would be a nice feature, but
recursive ingest is more important IMHO - I'll grab the Fez SVN source and
check out the filemanager shortly. I might see if I can weasel batch
importer improvements into the project plan ;-)
