Feature requests: Transform while copying and gzip files in folders

Open arqex opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

Hey thanks for the great plugin! I am looking for replacing the copy and compression plugins from my build stack and, to do so, I still need filemanager plugin to have 2 main features:

  • The copy plugin has a transform option to made modifications to the files while copying ( https://github.com/webpack-contrib/copy-webpack-plugin#patterns ). That's so handy, it's like a swiss knife. It would be great to have something similar when copying/moving with filemanager.

  • The other thing I noticed is that if I want to gzip all the files in a directory, filemanager will create one file that contains all the files in the folder. When creating a gziped version of the app is great to gzip the files separately, as the compression plugin (https://github.com/webpack-contrib/compression-webpack-plugin) does. Their filename option is also great to specify changes to the extension or similar.

Thanks again for this plugin, I think it's a great idea.

hey @arqex thanks for the feedback. Let me look into this some more. No promises I'm not really sure if I want to get this deep into functionality.

The transform option would be really helpful.
