Wish list: Automate 'additional files'

[meden]

It would be useful to have a folder that automatically added it's contents (incl subfolders contents) to the additional files list. I use different text files to generate product descriptions and if I'm in a rush I sometimes forget to add a file to the list and this causes problems on import into Business Client, my fault I know but still a pain.

This was first mentioned a few years ago. Plus one again for me.

(For those that don't know - you can add a folder entry (or particular files) into SiteBackup.ini which will automatically include the contained files (or listed files) in snapshots which can be useful)

Hello

I have moved this thread to the Wish List forum and added it to our internal Wish List as well to be considered for future releases.

I see this sitting from 2013

Was it ever implemented
Including a sub-folder in bit the snapshot and upload/refresh would be very useful for a client of mine
All his data is imported and the images and we use product references for image names etc so they do not actually get added to the data-file - just need all files in a sub- folder to be checked and if new or changed uploaded - Same for a snapshot....

No, sorry, this has not been implemented.

The new Stock Reminder extension actually includes code to upload files from a folder on the PC to a destination on the host. Making an extension to provide this feature is feasible but is anyone going to pay for it?

What sort of costs would be involved. I doubt my client will pay, at least to start with, but if it becomes a management hassle, and I think it might, then maybe in time he might.
