Description

I love the importer but i feel like there are a few things that could make it better.

1. i hate that i have to reconnect to my server for every document that I am uploading, is there anyway to make this permanent? Its my local server so having to hand jam this for 8 or 9 accounts every month
2. can i upload more than one document at a time if its for the same account
3. Right now the asset account defaults to the first account in your Firefly instance I think this should default to blank to ensure you HAVE to select your account, same with the date format.

• there have been to many times (my fault i know) that i forgot to change one of these and I then had to delete everything that i just uploaded and had to start again. It would be nice if I was forced to verify this everytime.

Solution

Loving the repository and thank you for all your hard work maintaining this!!!

Hey, thanks for your excellent suggestions!

1. This is already possible, since you can add a personal access token instead of a Client ID.
2. This will not be possible, it adds a lot of configuration complexity. BUT, you could import over the command line?
3. That is not a bad idea, but I worry about user friendliness. I'll think about it!

Thanks again, let me know if this helps!

Cheers,
James
