I'd like to be able to handle more files more easily on the client side. Currently, you can only do stuff with files that the client chooses one by one. I'd like the client to be able to choose an entire directory and give BYOND access to that.. Any chance I could get this?

I think I need a more detailed description of your situation. Are you talking about the safe-mode restrictions, or something else?

Hmm... say I want users to be able to upload files to my server. Currently, there's no mechanism that allows them to upload more than one file at a time (unless I'm missing something!). What I want is for them to be able to select a directory on their home machine and upload its entirety to the server. Or something like that. I'm not exactly wanting this for uploads, but its a good example.

Oh, I see, you are referring to the 'as file' input. Yep, that's on the List.

Ah, nifty. Is that like a 3.0 thing, or can I hope to see it more recently?

Assume that all non-mandatory features will be 3.0 things at this time, and then you'll be pleasantly surprised when a requested feature appears earlier.

The sooner we can make some money, the sooner we can get to 3.0, though!
