web based file manager

[curlyfro]

i recently had a requirement to build a online filemanager. users can create nested folders and add files to folders. i built it with ng-view using a search directive, folderView directive and a fileView directive. though it works i don't like it's design. i'm using $emit and $broastcast to send messages around and there's no routing.

then i saw Tim Kindbergs youtube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqJRoh8MnBo) and got moist. this is exactly what i should have used to build my filemanager. but can i have dynamic routes and states? i would love to represent the nested folders in the url. that would be cool. then i read this post (#379) and this post (#874) which kinda suggests it's not possible?

States actually reflect the structure of your application, which is generally not something you want to change dynamically. That said, what you're doing probably doesn't require dynamic states, you just need a custom URL matcher. Per the readme, please direct further support questions to StackOverflow.
