Why does JD have nested folders?

A bit more on Syncthing: today I wanted to actually get things set up, and share at the category level. And I realized how tedious it was going to be.

So I looked at the REST API and it turns out it seems pretty doable to script this:

  1. get an example folder object to use as a template
  2. for each JD category or ID you want to share, POST a JSON object

you can include the Device IDs to share with already.

It might be a good idea to set up auto-accept on the other devices.

I’ll document this in more detail elsewhere when I get it set up, but thought I would mention it here too.
