If the users could drag all their folders up to their web space folder, then there would be no advantage for the wysywig uploaders. Just select all your folders, drag them to your web folder and walk away--what could be simpler--and no need for a major addition to the software.

Have you ever installed apple systrem software--Your press install and every 5 mins (on some installationms) you have to come back and attend to the machine--if yiou leave too early then tough--you may get a dialog box 1/5 of the way thru the install and the machine waits ther.

Same deal with uploading files--why should someone on a modem have to sit and drag groups of files folder by folder to their web space--people get annoyed at this justifiably. This very small problem is what I think needs addressing
