Help talk:Multiple uploads

Can we edit this number of images to upload?
Can we change the number from 10 to more? Thank you. Anno1404 03:25, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * No, sorry. This cant be changed. --Uberfuzzy 17:53, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Deleting
Is it possible to delete multiple files? If not, it's a suggestion. 02:13, September 17, 2011 (UTC)

Functional Enhancements
I was wondering, would it at all be possible to make two changes to this form? Thanks!
 * Next to each Source Filename's "Browse" button add a Clear button to remove that entry.  I have found that once you add a file it is difficult to remove it from one of the 10 slots; trying to get to the local-path form field always pops open the File System's open file dialog box so I cannot clear it out.  Actually I find it is easier to reload the page and then try to find the other files that I had just tried to add. The clear button should empty/reset the Source Filename and Destination Filename entries for that specific group.
 * Next to each Source Filename section, or under each one, if that file name has been detected as already existing, display a warning message in that vicinity.  The message should probably be displayed immediately under that entry and have it displayed in a prominent type face and style so it stands out.  Allow this warning to be displayed on ALL filenames that are in duplication.
 * Currently only the last duplicate file name is displayed as being a duplicate.
 * Currently you have to do significant scrolling down to check to see if a filename has been duplicated, then scroll back up again.  This is time consuming and tedious at times.
 * Bonus: To make this form more visually appealing and less prone to error, provide a little more of a separation between the 10 groupings.  When many of the file names are very similar, the distinction between the Source Filename and the Destination Filename becomes a little more of a challenge.  I think just a little extra space between the 10 groupings would improve the readability greatly.

Multiple uploads is aborting on me!
For two days in a row whenever I try uploading 20 pictures at once, it suddenly aborts when it gets to 40%!! Please can you correct this error!?!? Ready to rock! (talk) 19:57, April 4, 2019 (UTC)

Uploads suddenly limited
I’ve been experiencing this thing where I’m the admin on the Blaze wiki, but every time I upload more than 14 at a time (or more than 10 for already existing photos), I don’t get the confirmation that the upload was successful and instead either of the following, either a “503 backend fetch failed” timeout but the uploads did go through, or a “This Website cannot be reached” problem and the upload was unsuccessful. This has been happening since late March, what is causing this?--Ready to rock! (talk) 20:45, May 2, 2019 (UTC)

Please put multiple uploads on UCP
I cannot upload multiple photos at once properly without the Multiple upload extension! Please add it to UCP! --Ready to rock! (talk) 03:01, October 2, 2020 (UTC)
 * UCP already has an alternative for that which can be found when editing a page. ― C.Syde (talk  | contribs ) 10:46, October 2, 2020 (UTC)
 * That upload feature does not let you enter a description.--Reubot (talk) 07:16, October 26, 2020 (UTC)
 * I completely agree with Reubot. It's hard to put categories on all the images through the new UCP multi-upload method, and it's a pain to add the descriptions and category one at a time, which is similar to just uploading images one-by-one. If the old multiple uploads won't be implemented, then it's better to use Special:Upload instead, since we can automatically edit descriptions and categories while uploading using that, although it would be a lot of work since we'll have to do it one-by-one from now on. In my opinion, I think you should reconsider how useful Special:MultipleUpload is. Sijfer (talk) 13:45, January 6, 2021 (UTC)
 * You can use the MultiUpload script which does let you enter a description! https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/cfmtest/images/4/40/Signature_avatar_img.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/30?cb=20201109051129  CrazyForMyself 03:13, 01/06/21 (UTC)
