Editing of image node fields before submitting

It is true that if you mass upload, you probably don't need a body field. However, this addon describes itself as allowing multiple images to be uploaded instead of just 1 - which could be as simple as 2 images. Also, it replaces the single upload method by default. Taking a look at http://drupal.org/node/282542, leads me to believe that others, like myself, are hoping to basically do what your description says (upload multiple images with one simple click) and still retain the functionality of the default image upload capabilities. MySpace and Facebook basically do this, and it makes uploading images there easier, more fun, and less time consuming than in Drupal. I was really hoping your module would be the solution for this. Right now, your module helps makes things easier, and I appreciate that very much. :) Hopefully someone will come out with something that brings Drupal in ease of use closer to Facebook and MySpace.

I shouldn't have closed this issue, sorry! Not my place.

Here are my screenshots.
In mySpace, I'm able to upload the images titled as anything (1), and they are uploaded to a gallery (2). Then, I can caption them as anything I want (3) before submitting them. If I want to tag them (not a feature of yours), I can edit all the captions at once (4).

The major difference here is drupal has both an image node title and body. The title, we'd have edit ahead of time, and they have to be written a specific way. Not a big deal, but cumbersome for the average user. (ie have to use "_" instead of " " or it doesn't display correctly. In image 5, you'll see some titles as all caps, "An Example Image"- those were the ones I had saved as "an example image.jpg". I had to edit & reupload the images afterwards removing the spaces for them to show correctly. In order for the titles to show as "An example image," I had to save them as "An_example_image.jpg")

The Drupal galleries are designed to display small image titles, with larger image descriptions in the body. If you put a large title, it displays poorly in the gallery view (5). The captions of MySpace are like the body fields of Drupal in my mind, and each image node is more like a story than just a picture. Often, I like to write stories about images I upload (where I took it, what was happening, or sometimes a totally fun, fictional blurb) (6).

I think it would be best to edit the title & the body field, but maybe other users would prefer it otherwise. If you have the time, making these options seems like the ideal solution. :) Thanks for the super quick responses.

Thanks for doing this! :) Unfortunately... I'm getting the "Page Not Found" error when I click on [Next Step] (which leads me to http://blog.herringimages.com/node/add/image/list_images). Eek! I double checked the permissions, and I have rights to edit captions. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong? I wish I could give you more info.

I'm using image_fupload.module,v 1.18 2008/08/11 11:04:13

sweet, it worked. :) I totally missed the instructions when I downloaded the update. Thanks so much.
