Browse Everything #453

I just implemented Browse Everything in Plum: https://github.com/pulibrary/plum/pull/171

Do we want it in CC?

grosscol commented 8 years ago

I think we want this in Sufia. Importing files from dropbox et al does not seem like basic nor core CRUD functionality. From my point of view, it's easier to bolt something like this on than to strip it out. I think we could mention it in a wiki page on sufia about what files are involved. That could be a template for anyone that wants to bolt it on to their cc based application.

This seems like it should be in CC. Otherwise we have to answer the questions:

How do you get big files into CC? How do you maintain order when importing a bunch of stuff?

grosscol commented 8 years ago

Doesn't the browse-everything README.md already answer those questions for applications that want to handle this from the web ui?

Although if this has been done in all the CC based instances to date, it's probably something that should go into CC.
