In Drupal 6, there was the Add New Item button when we want to add more images to a blog entry.
However, now in Drupal 7, the button is not there.
I have to click on the upload button to be able to add a new image. This can take very long especially when there are a lot of images that need to be added to a blog entry because I have to click Upload then wait for the upload to finish, then choose another file and then click on upload again and then wait again for the image to upload.
Screenshot of the image upload portion is attached.
Steps to reproduce:
Create a new Blog Entry
Add an image
- no "Add New Item" button can be found like the one in Drupal 6
My setup:
Drupal 7 RC3
Apache 2
PHP 5.2.15
Mysql 5.1.52

montesq commentedI understand your point of view and I noticed the same thing a couple of hours ago.
However this is the way D7 works and it can not be considered as a bug (it's too late for UX changes)

h3000 commentedHi
I'm not sure I understand the reasoning for not including this in Drupal 7 if this is already the default behaviour in Drupal 6. If it works in Drupal 6 then it should be how it works in Drupal 7.
Now in D7, the process just seems so slow - I need to click on upload - wait for the upload to finish then choose another image, then click on upload again. With the "Add New Item" button in D6, I just add as many items I need, choose the images to upload, and then click on the Save button and then all images are uploaded automatically - this way seems more intuitive and faster.
I just feel that we do not need to rush the release of Drupal 7 if there are features that are not included that should be included.
With that said - I just want to say that aside from this, Drupal 7 looks to be a great improvement over Drupal 6. Great Job!
Happy New Year!

marcingy commentedPutting back to d8 this isn't a bug. The functionality you are describing was provided by CCK, fields in core is not CCK therefore the lack of the feature is not a regression.

montesq commentedAfter a quick seach, I've found there are several tickets about this request, like:
#452446: Select multiple files to upload
#625958: Support Uploading Multiple Files for HTML5 Browsers via #multiple attribute

costas100 commentedThis is my first day with Drupal 7. I do have a Drupal 6.17 which is working fine.
In Drupal 7, I cannot find the "File Attachments" area at all. I am using the WYSIWYG + CKEditor but I cannot see anyway of uploading pictures or anything. I can do it by FTP uploading pictures and then type the link. But this will not be possible for users.
I am missing something

You need to create a new issue for your case... However, are you sure you are creating a new content which the content-type has at least one file field?
