Will D7 Include a Real Multi-Upload?

I may sound a bit like a broken record but, after viewing the D7 preview, I would really like to know if D7 will eventually have a true multi-file uploader.  Not the multi-file upload that is currently installed in the D7 preview.  What I'm talking about is an uploader utility like MySpace has....one that will allow you to select a whole batch of photos in a single browsing section all at the same time, then clicking Upload one single time.  Not the very tedious method of "Click Browse - navigate to directory - select a single photo - click OK - now click + sign to add photo - repeat whole thing 20 times - then click Upload"  No no no, this is a terrible, time consuming, aggravating method that nobody on this earth enjoys!!  ;)  

Developers, will D7 have a better uploader?  If you don't know what I mean, please look at the MySpace upload utility.  It is superb...you can even use it to create new photo albums.  Dolphin really needs one that is comparable.  Without it, the Photo Album funtionality will be crippled, and quite honestly, nobody will upload lots of pics if they have to use the old method.    

Thanks for your time, keep up the great work!

here's some free open-source scripts:

(would be a great addition to dolphin)

Thanks, mastermindsro, those links may be a good place to start.  I must say, I've posted about this issue many times, and rarely get supportive responses from the community like yours, and I never get a response from boonex.  IMHO, this is a critical requirement for any social site these days....when most users find out they have to tediously upload pictures one file at a time, they say "Forget this!" and leave.  I can't even stand uploading pics to my own site because of this ancient method!  I mean, when you've used the kick ass uploaders at MySpace and Facebook, you just can't settle for a lesser method.  D7 or any version Dolphin will never compete with the big fish if they don't fix this...

So please, if you agree, please let boonex know by posting here.  Hopefully a developer will respond and let us know.

Thanks and have a great day!

I am happy to report that AndreyP is in fact working on a better multi-uploader, which is music to my ears.    Way to go BoonEx team, can't wait to see the next Alpha version!   

I suggested this one to Andrey a while back: http://demo.swfupload.org/v220beta5/index.htm

I have SWF Upload integrated into my site.  It works great! But make sure if they do, there is always a link to the old uploader and/or alternative.  Some issues with Flash sometimes causes it not to show.  Right now, I have Flash 10 working.

some solution for 6.1.4

Damn I'm at work and I cannot get to your demo site to try it out.  (My company blocks waaay too much)  I will try it out when i get home.  The screenshots look promising!  If I buy this, will I be entitled to an upgrade once D7 comes out?

indeed but for the new generation D7 should be standard not a mod..

Dolphin 7 have now multiupload. I just offer another solution, based on java applet.

When dolphin 7 will published I will re-upload thid mod and for dolphin 7 too. This is not a problem.

Guys, my uploader was grow to version2

In newest version (2.0) was added possibility to upload images to profile and upload shared music ;)
Also, now this module compatible with
http://www.expertzzz.com/Downloadz/view/4106
If someone will need changed files - I can share this changes.
So now you will able to use THIS uploader to perform uploading many images directly into your album.

Your screen shows show a simple browse and click interface.

DO you really have multi file selection instead of that? And if flash is not working - does it revert back to the old uploader??  Zip I am not interested in  - since no one has ever used that kind of photo uploading - including myself..

Check screens again,

Here are buttom - Add files, where you can X files in one time,

add its in several steps,

and after reviewing (checking what need to upload) - just click button 'Upload images'

I don`t use Flash to this uploader - this is java applet solution, which installed at each computer.

Is there a demo? and it does work for d 6.15, right?

Work of course and have online demo:

for profile photos:

for shared music:

I always note this in my description )

 If you want a demo, you may as well go to the site where the open source Java applet that AnderyP's mod uses, is distributed:

 Andrey, if Dolphin 7 will have a multi-uploader, why would you need to have this mod for D7? 

This is just different solutions. I hope that my version will better. Is it restricted for me to create different modules? :)

I perform integratinon of this uploader to my albums:
