@jcandco. Ok. Here’s the deal… Easy Folder Listing Pro does it automatically. However, the current version, 2.8.5, does not have features like paginated tables, multi-file downloads, obfuscated links, etc. I am currently working on version 3.0. I am almost finish with it. I hope to finish it in a couple weeks. Because I am refactoring the code quite a bit, and changing it to a component, I have to do a lot of testing, which has been taking long.
If you are interested, please follow me on twitter or check back the site in a couple weeks.
As for synchronization… you need to understand that synchronization is not just about manual versus automatic. If you have a listing that does not use filename or any built-in criteria, but uses entirely custom descriptions, then automatic sync will not make those files show at all.
