I need to be able to store files in a hierarchy...

Yes I know... I've written the recipy UploadExtended... Now that it's time
for me to upgrade wiki.lyx.org to pmwiki v2, I thought I'd first check if
there were ready-made full-featured file managers out there that that we 
could make work with PmWiki. This would be instead of rewriting 
UploadExtended.

In addition, there are some drawbacks with pmwiki's upload mechanism, e.g. 
not able to upload several files at once.

Could you explain why? (Pretend I'm a clueless user :-)
