Description schulten 2001-06-28 09:13:28 UTC
Hi,
many clipart collections are organized in file trees. Today, you can only 
create a new theme and import either one directory or all subdirectories. 

If you want to import a large collection, you have to create single themes for 
every subfolder of the collection which is very inconvenient.
On the other hand, if you import all subdirs into one theme, you get so many 
items that you can't find your way through the gallery.

Can we have a tree structure in the gallery so that the file structure of the 
original clipart collection can be mirrored? During the creation of a new theme 
an option "keep original file organization" could allow to import and create 
themes and subthemes during import.

If that's not possible, can we offer an option "create themes for subfolders" 
to create new themes for every subfolder on, let's say, the current level of 
the clipart collection medium and import all subfolders into these themes?
So that, if there were this structure on the CD
Alphabet
  Gothic
  Jugendstil
  Bauhaus
Animals
  Birds
  Fish
    Ocean
    River
  Four-legged
People
  Professions
    Office
    Industry
    Education
  Family
and the current level would be the top level, you would end up with three new 
themes (Alphabet, Animal and People), where all characters would be in the 
Alphabet theme, all animals in the Animal theme and all human beings in the 
People theme.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
