yes, i got what he said, but i don't get how to do it...
The idea to be able to download several selected files (or at least a single whole directory) is a good and useful idea. I too have no quick solution in mind, but here are some thoughts:
1. when one uses ftp:// in IE - it turns into explorer-like interface and you have a "copy to folder" menu option for selected files. so if you'll support ftp protocol it will do it for you (bad idea, ahh ? ..., out of the HFS scope ? )
2. I have getright (older version) , I used the "open with getright browser" and in thier file browser you can select several files... It works, BUT - you have to fix bugs in viewing the HFS tree in getright browser (!!!)
3. you may be able to add your own "download with HFS " menu item in the right clicked IE menu but this involves a special installation by HFS, and maybe - your own browser (too complex... ?)
4. May be add a small Java script that will activate multiple "save as" for the user. He will "select" files/directories and pres a special global button. (or maybe at first put a "save all" button near every directory name. Not very elegant though... )
That's all I can think of ... at least - #2 works, so maybe it is the simplest way for now.
