Description
The JMAP File Storage spec describes directory nodes and file nodes, but Bulwark Files does not use them in the intended way. Instead of a hierarchy of folders, containing files, Bulwark creates a flat list of files for everything. The files have names equal to their path, containing '/' characters.
For example, here is a folder and file hierachy. You can create this in the Bullwark Files UI.
- Stuff
- Nonsense
- Notes.md
- Other.md
But when you access this with JMAP, you get a flat list of FileNodes, all at the top level (that is, parentId = null), like this:
File: "Stuff"
File: "Stuff/Nonsense"
File: "Stuff/Nonsense/Notes.md"
File: "Stuff/Nonsense/Other.md"
Even the folders are represented as files. They even have a non-null blobId.
I am writing a client app that accesses the folders and files using JMAP, and this is very confusing. Stalwart provides a WebDAV server, and if I create a hierarchy using that, when I access it using JMAP, it is still a hierarchy, as I would expect. But not so with Bulwark.
