NEW: Upload Folder button in the Files area to upload a directory of
files.
I just tried this new feature.?
A dialog box opens that says "select files," not "select directory" as you would expect. When you click Browse in this dialog another dialog opens where you actually select what you want to upload. If you highlight the origination directory, it populates and seems ready to go, but if you click upload at that point it fails.
You have to first double-click INTO the directory...where it shows NO files present, even if some are actually there ("no files match your search"). If you click Upload anyway then it finally comes back to the first dialog where you can enter a description and complete the upload.?
If there are any
photos in the folder being uploaded and you don't have your group configured to allow photos in the files area, it will throw a separate error for each one.
If the amount of files to upload is large (several hundred MB), I suspect the whole thing can still time out. I don't know whether the files are partially uploaded/folder created in that case or if the whole thing aborts...maybe someone else could try that.
In short, it works, but is not very intuitive; and the inability to do the same with a photo album is puzzling.

Bruce
