Re: [Ids-devel] Users' suggestions

Javascript can be useful, but it makes the page
load slower. Javascript pop-up menus under Solaris
are glacial.  I wouldn't require it.

As for using zip.... that seems like stuff IDS
shouldn't have to worry about.  Write a CGI script
for your webserver or use one of the following:

Unix -> Unix.... rsync -avHS --update is your friend
Windows -> Unix.... FTPSync from www.fileware.com
 
I just have a directory of same name as my album
and then sync it using either of the above.  Works great.

While I'm plugging the dude's tools:

Windows -> Windows... FileSync or CmdSync from www.fileware.com
