Sander,<br><br>The image_import module (which comes with the Image module) does this the FTP way. First upload via FTP and then bulk import to nodes. Obviously the limitation there is that only admins with FTP privileges can do it.
<br><br>The Acidfree module has a way to allow users to do it, by uploading a zip or tar file from an Import Images screen. Problem there is a lot of end users won't be agile enough with zipping/tarring. In addition, OS X's built-in zipping function (called Archive) -- includes resource fork files which then get turned into blank image nodes. So even with Acidfree folk who feel comfortable with zipping -- you explain to Mac users how to make a "clean" archive.
<br><br>I think what a lot of folks long for is something similar to the interface that Facebook uses for bulk image uploads. I'm sure it will arrive sooner or later, I'm not up on who might be working on thinking about such a tool. Maybe others know.
<br><br>The Acidfree interface when you do the bulk upload is nice, being able to edit relevant node fields for all the images on the same screen.<br><br>Shai<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 9/10/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">

Ist there a way to allow for bulk upload of images attached to nodes?<br>One option that would work would be to display multiple file browsers on<br>the node's edit page instead of one at a time. Another would be to ftp
<br>the images to the server and then somehow attach them. Or perhaps<br>there's already a module for it?<br><br>thanks<br>.s<br>--<br>[ Drupal support list | <a href="http://lists.drupal.org/">http://lists.drupal.org/
