Allow the selection of multiple files in the file extension

Open snowboyz0825 opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Before anyone says, anything, I am aware you can the zip extension to add multiple files at once. My main issue with this is that if you wanted the end user to be able to import multiple files at once, they would have to import it one at a time or as a zip file, which is very counter intuitive and clunky.

Also, I am aware of Issue #347, but the creator of the issue closed it as he could use a zip file.

We would of course have it as a separate block, and all in all I feel like it's probably relatively highly requested feature.

i suppose the question is how to design the blocks to make this work easily

We could essentially make it like the zip extension, where it has it's own file system, but that would require a whole rewrite and probably isn't the best way to do it. I was thinking about it, and maybe 3 blocks

  1. Open multiple files
  2. "Name of opened files" (as an array)
  3. Contents of file (name) We would probably have one "set" of cached files at a time

you could replace the extension with my Files Expanded. Basically runs TW files but with enhancements such as that
