Batch add files in the download extension?

[MarisaG]

I have installed the download extension and it seems to be working fine, but... I linked in my main joomla's download area folders into the phpbb location and if I go into the DL extensions config it does list the number of items in the given folder, but I have to manually add each file. Is there a way to automatically create downloads for the files in that category?

Looking forward to hearing from you...

There's no way to create multiple downloads from existing files in a single batch run.

Firstly, the necessary descriptions and titles of the downloads would be missing, requiring rework. Secondly, more than one category could point to the same directory, which was explicitly provided for in the extension. In this case, such a transfer wouldn't be able to determine which category the files should be included in.
