The new libman in Visual Studio is super simple and lightweight.

But I cannot figure out how to download a directory with it...

I have this config:

{
    "version": "1.0",
    "defaultProvider": "cdnjs",
    "defaultDestination": "lib",
    "libraries": [
        {
            "library": "jquery@1.11.3",
            "destination": "lib/_jquery",
            "files": [ "jquery.js" ]
        },
        {
            "library": "jqueryui@1.12.1",
            "destination": "lib/jqueryui",
            "files": [ "jquery-ui.css", "jquery-ui.js", "images" ]
        }
    ]
}

But the images folder in the jqueryui lib doesn't download the images folder.

Also tried images/* and images/*.* to no avail.

If I don't specify any files, then I get the whole lib, including all folders. But that downloads all themes as well.

So how do I just download specific dirs?

There is no way to specify patterns to get the files from a library currently.

Libman just get all the files in the library and builds a dictionary to the file path specified and check if exists or not, unfortunately.
