Optimize BG upload for a huge number of files
Currently, Background upload is not very much user-friendly, when uploading 10-100s of files.
- It sends a lot of emails.
- The file browser needs to be reopened again and again.
Start upload
needs to be reclicked all the time.
Possible solutions:
- Select multiple files at once to upload.
- Select a whole folder and
zip
its content. (related to invenio-uploadbyurl#30) - Email:
- Bundle the mails that are sent (hard to implement currently)
- Give the user the chance to opt-out since we also have a job status ui now (invenio-uploadbyurl!60 (merged))
- do not send emails at all
