Soup pot: placeholder for ideas

[heisantosh]

This issue thread is a placeholder for random ideas about this app :)

[heisantosh]

• new text area in app main window to paste and share text
• open file directly if single file is shared
• directly stream zip to client instead of zipping on server then serving the zipped file
  • write http response writer as zip writer??!

Flow of downloading

• user can select files and folders to download by checking the checkmark located at the top left corner of the icon
• when a selection is made a info bar dialog appears at the top of the window
• the info bar contains 2 buttons - cancel, download
• if the selected file is a single file no need to zip, let it download directly
• if the selected items are all files, no need to zip, let it download one by one or zip and download ??!
• stream the zip over http instead of creating a local copy and sending it over http

routes

Currently serving starts at the / , to separate the functionalities it would be better to
provide under separate routes

/files - browsing files and folders
/text - text
/download - download files and folders as zip

e.g.

192.168.5.101:48922/files
192.168.5.101:48922/text
192.168.5.101:48922/download

Rather than implementing the multiple download feature in the browser it would be better to provide an ftp service instead.
