Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/2305

What would you like to see?

When managing documents assigned to a workspace, currently the only option is to perform an operation (watch, remove, etc.) on an individual document. This can quickly become cumbersome.

Ideally, selecting documents with shift to select a range, ctrl to select multiple ones and an option to select all would be available. Or something similar.

I have hundreds of documents already in a folder structure. I had hoped to select a folder and see them all imported with the structure, but I can only select multiple files. This has stopped my own use of anythingllm as, whilst I'd love to use the RAG, I don't want to set up hundreds of folders and subfolders.

For me, I have a Zotero folder on my machine, with PDFs contained within subfolders. I would like to be able to add the parent folder and automatically add the PDFs from the subfolders.

@timothycarambat I am still hesitant on using AnythingLLM until the RAG system works similarly to GPT4All's LocalDocs, where users do not have to select individual files, but can instead do RAG on multiple folders without duplicating the contents. Heck, even folders inside of folders work, and there is no file size limit. GPT4All has worked with 2 GB sized folders before and it worked well.
