Uploading a folder of Stimuli to Inquisit Web

Dear Dave, dear Community,

I have a question regarding experiment uploads for Inquisit Web. I have an experiment with many pictures as stimuli, collected in a folder.
However, I can't find the functionality of uploading a folder on the upload page (only individual files).

How can I upload a folder when creating an Inquisit Web experiment?

Thank you in advance and best wishes,
Daniel

If you wish to upload many files at once, ZIP them and upload the ZIP archive. The server will automatically extract it.

Dear Dave,

worked like a charm for the first experiment thank you.
For the second I encountered an error however: All Stimuli seem to load but then just before the experiment starts, Inquisit Web Player crashes and displays:Type:
Type: Error
Script: [experiment].iqx
Error Message: '' is not a valid setting
Code: 24

Seems like I have a rogue " somewhere. But the program runs fine locally and no line or similar is given by Inquisit Web Player, so it's hard to debug.

Any ideas?

Thank you for your help!
