I'm sorry to hear those words from you.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't you previously state that the file manager part of FUD forum is the (only) way we safe-moders have to perform changes?

Due to the limitations in the current file manager I'm getting reluctant to build a template-set of my own.

I'm quite aware that some of the items in my wish-list are labour intensige but some of them aren't.

Would any of the following set of basic changes require an intensive effort to accomplish? From my own experience of developing enterprise web solutions I think they should be quite easy to perform.

Download action for directories. Downloading a directory should put all the contents of that directory structure into an archive (.zip/.tar.gz/whatever) and send the archive file to the client.
View action on files. For all files other than images send the contents as text/plain.
Edit action for non-binary files. It would be of great convenience if given the possibility to edit the contents of a file by displaying it in a big <textarea> and then quickly posting it back.
Easier replaceing of files. It would be way much more convenient to have a action "replace" for files. The user wanting to replace a file would then locate the file in the list, click replace, get to a file uplad page and there select the file to upload. This behaviour is way more intuitive and user friendly than what's possible today.

So, please, please.

If I supplied you with the code for a file manager with additional features would it then be possible to have it included in FUD?
