w3_bulk_importer - whole directory importing

This bundle is marked as pending. It has not been reviewed by a staff member yet.
The World Editor's import editor/manager can import single files and all the files in a directory, but it cannot import the files in a directory and all its sub-directories. w3_bulk_importer tries to fill this functionality gap. It does so by first making a copy of the map (adds a '_copy' suffix to the map's name: map.w3x is copied to map_copy.w3x), and then attempts to import the files. It also prints a trace/output of what it's doing. After the importing is done, the user should verify that the files were successfully added to the map, before continuing working on it.

w3_bulk_importer - whole directory importing (Binary)

Why not simply use maps in folder mode? That way you can just drag the directory into your map directory.
I use older World Editor versions which don't implement this feature/mode (as far as I know) :^).

Otherwise MPQEdit also has this functionality with Drag&Drop.
Yes, but I don't think MPQEditor updates the war3map.imp file. As far as I know, if an imported file is not listed in the war3map.imp file, it will be removed from the mpq/w3m/w3x by the World Editor when saving the map.
