Hi all, Just a thought, I think the best choice to trigger a large import like this is to create a plug-in instead of adding extra tabs to the file browser. The plug-in should start by requesting the zip file/directory to import. If the zip file is not already uploaded the user will have an opportunity to upload it. After choosing the zip file/directory the plug-in could start its import and creation of necessary items.
The above is fairly straightforward already today and the new code would start at import/creation of necessary items. This will yield very little (or no) changes to the core and the plug-in should probably be started from the experiment listing page. This will of course change the experiment list jsp (a import tab is needed). In my naive view this will only affect a jsp and a new plug-in is needed.
