I don't quite understand what this issue is about? It should replace the mass uploader that uses Flash ärgs ?

I think it's still important to be able to select more than one file at a time to upload. Is this still possible after the refactoring? Will this be a HTML5 solution?

@Jens: Will you create a screen for this?

Hi Lars,

I'm currently working on an integration of Plupload, a multi-"engine" file uploader (HTML5, flash, gears, silverlight, HTML4).

I started my work based on this ExtJS-Example (ExtJS-Forum thread)

This would replace the Flash-Uploader completely and automatically set the best-fitting engine. It's not 100% sure, but I hope to complete my work before fateure freeze.

@Lars: Yes I will.
@Steffen: Could you contact me, when you finished the prototype implementation? Than I could start my task.

Some thoughts (let's take about them on friday, will give you access to demo installation)
  • Better way to handle "Overwrite existing files" (dialog Yes/No?)
  • Where to display information: (Dis)allowed file types, max file size
  • What happens after successful upload? Redirect to folder? Upload more files?
  • What happens on error? Empty upload queue?* Upload directly without confirmation?
  • Show used plupload engine (debugging purposes) / switch between engines and store in BE user config?
  • How to tell the user that he can select more than one file?

The FAL migration didn't change the uploader. I hope, it's easier now to replace it, but I'm not involved in that. But I'm still in favor of a better uploader.
