Description

It would be nice to upload multiple files via selecting more than one file at a time in the file selector or having drag-and-drop. This could be implemented with the following example.

I will likely come up with a patch for this in the next day or so.

Should be optional, because some browsers don't support html so far

Is there an update on this ticket? I also think this would be a very nice feature for Redmine... I often have to upload multiple files at a time on a single issue.

HTML5 Drag and Drop would be nice, but I don't it's necessary. It would be a step forward just to have another anchor tag for multiple file upload that triggers a javascript prompt asking how many files you'd like to upload, and have it show that many file input fields.

+1 for drag-and-drop

The answer to this:

...looks promising.

Though I never knew you could just drag and file onto any old file upload input control. That's cool. And honestly, kinda makes the whole HTML5 drag-and-drop file craziness seem a little underwhelming.

+1 for drag-and-drop (Regsitred to do this post)

It is extrimly time consuming to add multiple files to the wiki page or regular ticket.

I believe this part of HTML5 supported by latest versions of all browsers already.

Google mail do this way a long ago.

Please add to the next release.

2 Etienne.
Thanks man.
You know this feature is one that most of users will use every day. The rest features are also important and helpful, but they will be used not so often or not so many number of people.

Looking forward to see this feature in next release.

What about plUpload ?

I personaly use it and it is very scalable as he's using many runtimes :

Allows you to upload files using HTML5 Gears, Silverlight, Flash, BrowserPlus or normal forms, providing some unique features such as upload progress, image resizing and chunked uploads.

Quick feedback:
  • The summary says "Multiple file upload with HTML5 / Drag-and-Drop".
  • I hope it comes to include the "upload progress feedback" feature of the linked example in the description.

This way, #5889 and #3957 would be closed as well. :)
