Issue Summary
Is there a clean way to harvest from the files (or other Drupal) directory? Other than using the FTP Harvest, I don't see a way.
Thanks for the great module...

#1
Good idea. I need this feature, too.
Would be great if it will be implemented.
#2
Well anything in /files I would think would end up there from an attached file on a node, right? If this is a correct assumption, then you can already do this by harvesting from files attached to nodes...
#3
Please, consider the following:
We would like to batch process many video files to convert them to flv files. So, the uploader (who is a trusted person) uploads 100 AVI files to a directory on the server, and MMover scans this directory and harvest files from it. It can be combined with automatic node creation, so the whole upload process could be automatized. Later the uploader could edit the automatic node title, etc.
#4
Not necessarily. User pics, non-nodal (if that is a term???) images, etc.,
#5
so really the concern isn't the files directory, but any directory on the filesystem?
#6
Correct...Any directory on the filesystem.
#7
Hey, Arthur. Any more thoughts on harvesting from a directory?
#8
I completed the first run of a module for this. I have support for harvesting and storage & completion will be forthcoming. It's basic, and it doesn't support recursive adding, but it does have a file extension filter, which is useful.
#9
Ok the storage and completion aspects are done, so you can actually use this to move files around your local system. Or combine it with other things to really fancy things. See the cvs version.
#10
I added some validation in, closing this ticket out
#11
Automatically closed -- issue fixed for two weeks with no activity.
