[Request] Specify folder on local machine (instead of just files)

[jonathan-scholbach]

I have a directory on my machine containing all my *.user.css files. I synchronize this with git over multiple machines. Currently, I have to import all files in that directory manually.

It would be very convenient to just specify that stylus should use all styles in that directory, instead of having to import all files individually.

The only way to do it is to use an external tool via nativeMessaging, but I don't want to implement a feature that depends on installing a local binary or nodejs script.

A lame workaround is possible in Chrome which returns the contents of a directory requested via file:// scheme. There's also the new FileSystem API, but it can't reuse the permission to access the file/directory after the requesting page was closed.

We might implement this feature when both Firefox and Chrome support the new FileSystem API along with remembering the access between runs. It may take years.

Meanwhile, you can try to do it via WebDAV.
