Pinning multiple files when adding multiple files like Kubo

[tkb2501]

Hi Team,

I'm trying to add multiple files simultaneously in IPFS-cluster node but the issue is that only a single CID is being pinned to the cluster while other CIDs are not getting pinned.

Although I'm able to access those files using GET api call but why it isn't pinning all the CIDs?

Per https://discuss.ipfs.tech/t/pinning-issue-while-adding-multiple-files/16612/2?u=hector, only the last file added in a multipart request is pinned.

I'm not sure why it was done this way. I can speculate that there is no good way to differentiate between adding a folder with files and adding many files. When adding a folder that has files inside, then only the last root CID should be pinned, and not every single part of the multipart should be pinned. I am not sure how Kubo makes a difference here but we should replicate the behaviour.
