Ability to drag and transfer multiple files (and/or folders!) at once #33

I'd like to be able to transfer a bunch of files or folders via this utility, without zipping them up first and needing to unzip them on the other end.

Maybe when it's multiple files like that, the receiving end could be prompted to confirm the directory where they should be saved (to avoid making an unexpected mess for the user, if they were intending to receive the files for "a particular project" for example)

That's a nice idea I'm open to see implemented!

On the top of my head: I'd rather tar the payload instead of compressing it. Rationale: it takes CPU resource to compress the payload and I think the local network connection speeds are capable enough not to require compression, if you know what I mean.

Wouldn't tarring the thing require writing to disk? I was hoping that maybe your app could manage to throw the folders and files without an intermediary step that could slow things down or choke on a full disk partition (my partitions are almost always full to the brim)...

Yay, it definitely took some time, but here we go, in the newest release you can drag and drop folders!
