Multiple file uploads for folder_contents

Description (last modified by ldr) (diff)
Proposer: Laurence Rowe (svn:ldr, irc:elro)
Seconder: Geir Bækholt (svn:elvix, irc:baekholt)
Motivation
Uploading multiple files/images to Plone is a pain.
Assumptions
No Flash or Java applets should be used.
Proposal & Implementation
- The folder_contents view should gain an "Upload" button. This shows a popup which includes an <input type="file" multiple="multiple" name="files:list" /> and a drop down to select the file type, defaulting to automatic (which looks up the type using the mimetypes_registry).
- Dragging multiple files to the folder_contents view should make visible a landing are where the files can be dropped (like in gmail), triggering the files to be uploaded.
Deliverables
Some javascript and a few changes to the view.
Risks
The main risk seems to be around working out what content type to create for a particular file. This is the job of the mimetypes_registry, but is that enough, or do we need some sort of selection.
It may be better to upload files in individual requests, this is presumably implementable using javascript.
Is it consistent to have a button trigger the popup, or should it be a link?
Participants
Laurence Rowe (hopefully with some input from a js guru)
Progress
I believe tiles already implements drag and drop uploading for images.

Yay! I have had plans for this. Great to see it happen. I'll be happy to second it.
We'll run it through the UI team to discuss the best approaches to how to handle it in the UI. At the moment, the best approach i can think of is an appendix to the "add item" menu: "upload multiple" or something like that. We need this for images too. :)

The initial implementation deadline for your PLIP is October 1st, 2010. The Framework Team would certainly appreciate you finishing beforehand so that they may begin evaluating it as soon as possible. Announce its readiness here once your implementation is ready for review.

- Status changed from new to closed
- Resolution set to wontfix
PLEASE READ THIS AND RE-OPEN VALID PLIPS!
As we launch the new PLIP process we'd like to see which PLIPs:
- are still appropriate/needed
- still have owners/proposers/champions
- still have available implementers
If this PLIP should still be considered for future releases of Plone please do re-open this ticket and assign an appropriate milestone. If it should be considered for the next release of Plone, use the 4.2 milestone. Also be sure to update the PLIP description, requester, owner, etc. and include a comment detailing recent progress and new plans. We will use all these details in the new continuous PLIP process.
