Title: Import particular folder via API
Post by: gvanbrunt on August 17, 2011, 07:03:38 pm

Is there any way to import a particular folder (only) via the API, command or Web Service?

The MC command line option /Import (and its variants) are described to only import a single file.  If this is correct, and I have not verified it, a script could be written to import an entire folder easily enough.

Thanks! Not ideal but usable. It would be nice if it offered a whay to duplicate the "import a single folder" feature.

I wanted to run an import while in Theater view. I'll just write a script to import all the files. Might take some thinking though as it may import junk as well such as txt files and whatnot.

OK, perhaps not necessary after all.

   mc16.exe /import <foldername>

will import a folder's contents.

I'll update the wiki.

[edit: wiki updated; should be clearer now that /import, etc. can import one or more files/folders]
