Hi all,

This week's change log:



Feel free to reply to this topic if you'd like to comment on the
changes. Or better yet, if you expect a lot of discussion start a new
topic (or rejoin an existing one) about a specific change.


Comments about these are welcome:

NEW: Upload Folder button in the Files area to upload a directory of
files.
API: Added /newmembernotice, /updatemembernotice, /deletemembernotice,
and /getmembernotices endpoints.
NEW: Checkbox to notify the group when you modify a file.
CHANGE: Rate limit how often someone can report a message, to make
abuse more difficult.
CHANGE: Changed how we present start/end dates/times in calendar
invite emails, to match how we present them when clicking Download
Event. Even though both should be equivalent, apparently Outlook
likes the Download Event version better.
API: Added /searchfiles endpoint.
BUGFIX: We now consider email addresses with parentheses as invalid.
API: Added /searchphotos endpoint.
API: Added /getdirectory and /getfile endpoints.
API: Changed snippet field to summary in the search_result object for
naming consistency.
INTERNAL: Upgraded Go compiler to 1.13.1
API: Added /testnotification endpoint.
API: Handle case where group is not in the same domain as the API
request. Caused incorrect direct add emails.

Please call out any you find significant.

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.

FYI,
Bruce

I wonder why implement Upload Folder at all because while uploading to Files or Photos you can select several files with Shift-click or Ctrl-click.

I was thinking I would be able to select several folders...or a folder having subfolders...creating some directory structure in one go (an occasionally-asked-for feature). I also thought it would only send one notification.

As implemented, it doesn't seem to add any new functionality at all.

I agree that this looks like a solution looking for a problem and does still has several rough edges.

On the other hand, my testing shows that while it doesn't show what files are in the directory you select, it does later advise how many files there are.

As far as sub-directories are concerned, I was something surprised to see that it DOES include sub-directories as folders and includes files there as well. At least it did it for the initial one level deep test that I did.

I think the sub-directory feature is susceptible to misuse, accidental or otherwise. In fact, I am trying a test now where I pointed to a directory with 184 files (260 MBytes) and 33 sub-directories and started it off. It is merrily uploading files and despite the UI box staying up, pressing Cancel only closes the dialog box but does not stop the upload process.

I am letting it go to see where / if it stops. In the mean time, although it is at 20% uploaded and counting, no files have yet shown up on the group and no announcement emails have been sent out. I'll check back later and advise how it ended. Since my internet is only 1 mbps upload, this could be a while.

There is also an additional issue in that the description entered when selecting the directory cannot be seen after the upload is complete. At least I could not find how to view it.

Follow up.

- All 184 files and 33 folders (including sub-directories) were correctly uploaded to the Files area.?

- 184 notifications were emailed out. Hotmail (Outlook) accounts received all 184 emails. GMAIL only delivered 74 emails. I presume this is a GMAIL issue. Hopefully, GMAIL isn't going to start blocking GIO now.

- The file links in the emails are not correctly formed. They are missing the subdirectory structure, so only files in the top directory have usable links.?



It sure makes it easy to make a mess of things. If this feature does stay, it seems we are missing the reverse function and that is to be able to download the directory.?I would much rather see users zipping files together and uploading a zip file instead of this feature.
