Uploading Projects

There should be a way to upload a folder of projects from the website instead of having to upload from the program each individual program. The instructions do not show a way to upload multiple projects so if there is a way let me know. Thanks.

So basically, it saves you the pain of having to open/close each project, right?

Problem #1:  You would have to fill out all the forms in a row anyway.  Not having to press "open" isn't worth the effort it would take to implement this, in my opinion.

Problem #2:  Even if this was easy to implement, I'm not sure that the Scratch server can tolerate that many simultaneous uploads.  It would be a really easy to crash the Scratch server.  Someone could just tell a Scratch program to upload a folder containing 1000 blank projects.  And even if we imposed a limit on uploads at once, such as 20, you can just run it on multiple computers and it will at least slow down online Scratch for everyone.
