Better identifiers for bulk imports? about knobkraft-orm

Wow, happy you like it, and thank you for your pull request as well! And that's a great example for the UX problem, especially when you import Martin's soundmondo ZIP file with 4000+ RefaceDX patches :-)

Actually, it is readily possible as the database already contains the following information stored in JSON, here is an example:

{"bulksource":true,"timestamp":"2020-05-15T17:47:12.300+02:00","fileInBulk":"{\"filesource\":true,   \"filename\":\"01_Bladerunner_GEO.syx\",\"fullpath\":\"D:\\\\Christof\\\\Music\\\\ProphetRev2\\\\Prophet REV2 - Revolution_GEOSynths\\\\Programs\\\\01_Bladerunner_GEO.syx\",\"program\":0}"}

So it would only be a matter of formatting the BulkSourceInfo better within the given space of the UI to list more usable information (File "PatchHolder.cpp line 403)

It seems however that the ZIP file import currently does not produce a better list, it only retains the name of the ZIP file. That should probably be extended to do the same thing as the Bulk import, just for the file names inside the ZIP.

@christofmuc Thanks for the answer!
I've totally missed that zip import is possible! It makes things much nicer then 😃

Could we close this?
I've lost a bit in what we want here.
I didn't know that I can import zip files without extracting, and that solved my problem with collection organization.
Perhaps you could create a new issue if you have some idea and vision for enhancement?

Sure, thank you!
