           Summary: No way to receive an offer for a batch of files
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: 0.8
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: tp-spec
        AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: sjoerd at luon.net


At least on GTalk and apparently also on iChat the user can send a set of files
to a contact and that contact can then pick and choose which files to actually
receive.

We discussed this among the telepathy spec cabal today. The suggested way of
doing is is to define an extra property on FileTransfer channels (of type
objectpath) which is an opaque (for now at least) token representing the
collection of files it belongs to call FileCollection. The CM should emit all
new FT channels belonging to one collection at the same time, UIs supporting
this feature can then bundle all these channels together in some way and show a
nice UI. UIs not supporting it will treat them as seperate transfers, which is
not great but a reasonable fallback
